P-VILLE HIGH COURT CASE SCHEDULE

P3 v PASTA

March 10, 2016 at 12:27pm in Court Room 3301 (Court will begin promptly)

12:27 - Bailiff will call the court case into session. All present will rise upon Judges entry into room.

BAILIFF: " All rise! All rise! Please remain standing! The Honorable Elder Judges of P-ville are now present. Court is now in session."
All are to remain standing until Judges sit first and...

JUDGE 1 says: "You may all be seated."

NOTE: Bailiffs should warn before case starts: No outside entries or departures are allowed once court begins. Bailiffs man the doors while court is in session. Bailiff handle any disruptions immediately. If King P or Judge calls for a removal of someone, Bailiffs should promptly, politely but firmly remove individual from courtroom and tell them to leave Building 3 asap.

12:28 - Judges will inform all present of court room expectations for behavior

JUDGE 2: "P-Villians, elders and outside guest... we are gathered here today to hear a very important case and to seek clarity for the P-ville Constitution. To assure we can do this in a timely manner, certain behavior is expected and WILL BE FOLLOWED in the courtroom. There will be NO speaking, no outbursts, no objections or any disruptions of any kind by anyone in this courtroom during today's hearing. Anyone... (pause) ANYONE in violation will be removed from the courtroom, can and will be fined and punished.

12:29 - Judges will outline how the trial will work, what will be tolerated and NOT tolerated.

JUDGE 3: "Now, this case today is NOT a criminal case. If any parties would like to file a criminal case, they may do so separately with the Court Clerk. Instead, the Elder Judges are present to hear arguments with regards to 5 legal uncertainties currently facing P-ville. In a moment, opposing attorneys will be called forward 1 at a time by the Elder Judges. Each attorney will, having already submitted a brief to the court, make their oral arguments. We, the High Court, ask that attorneys be brief, direct and precise. All attorneys should stick DIRECTLY to the task at hand. ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: 1) How the law should be interpreted? 2) Why should it be interpreted that way? That is it. DO NOT get into specific situations or mention names of any P-Villians unless the court asks you to. If an attorney starts to babble and drifts away from answering the two questions of, once again: 1) How the law should be interpreted? 2) Why should it be interpreted that way? Judges will stop you from speaking, if you are wasting time. Furthermore, Judges can and will interrupt your argument with questions. You are expected to answer their questions in a brief, direct and precise way. Lastly, Judges will only hear the arguments today, then deliberate and issue a decision likely within a week.


12:30 - Judges will read aloud the 5 disputed areas of the law

JUDGE 1: "Now due to the limited time, we have scheduled 2 minutes of arguments to attorneys on both sides of the issue. Thus, a total of 4 minutes will be spend to hear arguments for each of the 5 legals disputes of the case. And the disputes are as follows:

1) Can a Period declare war on its own citizen in self-defense against that citizen?

2) Can a citizen be held to the same standard of the law when it comes to limitations? (STOP! START READING #3)

This is referencing Article 1 under Limitations of the DOD and SC which states:

1) DOD / SCMs shall NOT be an obstruction or embarrassment to P-ville.

2) DODs / SCMs guilty of violating the P-Ville Constitution or in violation of misconduct in the land of the West can be removed from office.

3) Can a provision in the Constitution, not currently ratified, be used against a citizen? This refers to Article 3 Number 7. Working with or helping people commit corruption is against the law.

4) Can a Period charge their own citizen with violating this provisions of the P-Ville War Article 8 Section 5 Numbers 6 & 8? Furthermore, what constitutes a “Pre-emptive Strike” and “Terror Attack” and what does NOT constitute such things. Basically, the court will listen to arguments before making a final decision on defining the above mentioned “terms.” (STOP! START READING #5) The specifics are as follows:

An attack officially referred to as “Pre-emptive strike” will cause stock decrease for the period using such a strike because that period is uncertain, showing weakness and causing a higher likelihood of war occurring in the future.

Those waging “Terror Attacks” can be brought to justice by the Supreme Council of the collective periods. If found guilty of terror, those responsible will serve a potentially harsh sentence such as suspension from P-ville and detention after school. Beware! Those who cause trouble thru terror will face trouble thru justice.


5) Does the DOD and SCMs of a period have the power to circumvent any and all activity they deem relevant to the obstruction to peace and tranquility of P-ville? Or do citizens have a right to resist such powers? If so, when and why?

This issue is a response to charges file by the state of P3 against Mr Pasta of P3. The constitutional relevance and clarity is needed for:

Article 8 Section VI Number 3: King P has little regard for foolish endeavors in barbaric battles for the sake of just having a war. War to alleviate boredom or to provide fun is NOT acceptable. Any Visigothic urges for war can be circumvented by DODs and SC Members, who can and should organize peaceful gatherings of goodwill competition (P Olympics, Vocab Game, etc).


12:32 - Judges Calls For Argument #1 to begin (order of arguments for 1-5 - 1st P3 attorney and then 2nd Pasta attorney)

JUDGE 1: "P3 you appealed to the court to hear the case, your attorney has 2 minutes to step forward and make their argument on issue # 1) Can a Period declare war on its own citizen in self-defense against that citizen?
Again, ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: 1) How the law should be interpreted? 2) Why should it be interpreted that way?"

P3 ATTORNEY: (stand up) Honorable Elders, I want to thank you for allowing me to speak before you on this matter. My name is_________from Period__. I represent (P3 or Pasta) on this matter.

JUDGE 1: Counsel, you may proceed in making your argument.

P3 Attorney: Thank you.
1) State Legal Dispute: 1) Can a Period declare war on its own citizen in self-defense against that citizen?
2) AFFIRM OR REJECT: This should be rejected by the court or This should be affirmed by the court
3) Explain HOW should the legal dispute be interpreted? The court should interpret this dispute as follows... Explain.
4) Explain WHY should it be interpreted that way? We believe the law should be this way because... explain... state reasons in constitution or because it is NOT mentioned in the constitution... or use a hypothetical to explain...

JUDGES ARE FREE TO INTERRUPT AND POSE QUESTIONS DURING THE ATTORNEY'S ARGUMENT. IF JUDGES SEE HOLES IN ATTORNEY ARGUMENT, JUDGES MAY EXPOSE THEM BY POSING QUESTIONS TO ATTORNEY, WHO IF THE ATTORNEYS ARE GOOD WILL BE ABLE TO DEFEND THEIR ARGUMENT AGAINST THE JUDGES' QUESTIONS.

(2 Minutes Later) TIMER signals to JUDGES time is up. Judges can decide if they want to grant more time beyond the 2 minutes, if needed to assist Judges in making their eventual decision. If the Judges feel they have heard enough, they will ask the Attorney to be seated.

Next, the court will call forward the opposing sides' attorney. That side will be granted 2 minutes to argue their point just as was done a moment before by the other sides' attorney.
