Proposal 4963 by Zefram, AI=1.1, Democratic
mostly-random judicial assignments
Change the Power of rule 2126 to 2.
}}}
I hereby submit the following proposal, titled "mostly-random judicial
assignments", and set its AI to 1.1:
{{{
Enact a rule titled "Policy on Judicial Assignments" with text:
When the Clerk of the Courts must choose a Trial Judge, e
shall choose randomly. The Clerk of the Courts may, without
objection, replace this requirement with some other means of
choice for a particular CFJ.
This rule does not affect which entities are eligible to judge
a particular CFJ. This rule takes precedence over other rules
governing the selection between eligible entities for Trial
Judge.
The Clerk of the Courts can cause this rule to repeal itself,
without 4 objections.
[This formalises Goethe's announced policy. The second sentence allows
for exceptions, such as I have advocated for particularly tricky CFJs,
by general consent; this arrangement is flexible enough to allow a
completely non-random choice or a random choice among a shortlist.
The final paragraph provides an abbreviated procedure to end the policy,
when no longer thought necessary; 4 objections is what the would-be
Oligarchs can trivially muster.]
I comment that this does not look like the intended proposal, since it
repeats proposal 4962.
