You are a judge in a city of extremely high crime rates and overly sue happy people. You decide to try and make your way in the judicial system and work your way up.
Note: This is more of less an open RPG. However, do not be too quick to convict, as convicting the wrong man or woman of either civil or criminal acts can diminish your reputation quite bad.
Sheet:
Name: This should be easy Age: See above Branch: Civil or criminal Category: Civil: Divorce or monetary; Criminal: Violent and Nonviolent Reputation: This is your reputation. If diminished too far, you will lose respect. If it gets higher, which can be accomplished through just sentences, high profile cases, etc., you will be capable of doing higher end defendants. Current Defendant: Who is currently defending themselves.
I will allow 3 people, only one of each branch and category.
Name: Jason Ford Age: 34 Branch: Civil Category: Divorce Reputation: Unknown Current Defendant: James Lee, Linda Lee; Mrs. Lee claims he cheated on her, and is requesting a variety of items and money
OOC = Out Of Character. It's what people say when they want to talk, but don't want it to be confused with what's happening in the RPG.
D) Make your own "Does the prosecution have anything to support these claims, such as a legitimate witness?"
OOC: This dude's guilty as sin, but wife's attitude isn't exactly making it easy for any of us here.
Name: Jason Ford Age: 34 Branch: Civil Category: Divorce Reputation: Unknown Current Defendant: James Lee, Linda Lee; Mrs. Lee claims he cheated on her, and is requesting a variety of items and money
Mrs. Lee has the mistresses as witnesses, but it's your call if they're legitimate.
Name: Judge Judy Age: 67 Branch: Criminal Category: Nonviolent Reputation: Unknown Current Defendant: John Green: charged with fraud, maximum sentence, 6 months, if proven of extensive greed, 2 years
Not until he takes his oath. I ask him what religion he is hoping that he answers Pastafarianism.

Name: Jason Ford Age: 34 Branch: Civil Category: Divorce Reputation: Unknown Current Defendant: James Lee, Linda Lee; Mrs. Lee claims he cheated on her, and is requesting a variety of items and money
As long as they take the oath and go on the stand officially, then I will count their testimonial as legitimate and let them testify.
