Judicial Appointments

Letter to the League of Nations
 

Speaker of the League of Nations
22 La America Boulevard
New Sorvun, CoR
29 January 2013
To whom it may concern:

As the newly elected High Judicator of New Sorvun, it is my responsibility to bring to you the names of two Judicators for League approval. It is the last day before my deadline strikes, and I assure the League I have not spent that time in vain. However, I have managed to decide firmly on two members of New Sorvun that I believe will make the best Judicators I could give.

The first Judicator I have seen fit to appoint is Tsruhkwah. The first reason that I chose him is his experience in Kenneth Williams' court. I believe that experience is a vital facet and that he will be able to help in many regards. I also have witnessed his style as a Judicator, and I greatly approve. The last reason I have chosen him is his PNP partisanship. I'm a sworn D-R, and no doubt you all were expecting a D-R court this term. I say why not be bipartisan? My job now is justice, and my job outside might be partisanships, but I will faithfully execute the office of High Judicator.

The second Judicator I have seen fit to appoint is Innucinsar. Innucinsar has proven to me, through various escapades, that he is a loyal, hardworking, levelheaded and friendly participant in whatever region he stands in. His experience with outside judicial work will prove healthy to the World Court.

For the reasons I have put forward today, and countless others, I ask the League of Nations to approve my recommendations of Innucinsar and Tsruhkwah for the position of Judicator of the World Court of New Sorvun.

Sincerely,
Ironicness
High Judicator of New Sorvun

It's no secret that I do not like Tsruhkwah at all, personally. But that aside, he is an excellent public servant, so appointing him to the World Court is a very wise move. But I must ask why the High Judicator made the appointment of Tsruhkwah taking into account his political affiliation? Should it matter what party he's a member of, especially regarding a position that should among the most apolitical in the government? I just don't understand that point at all. As for Innucinsar, while I don't know him well, he's got a good head on his shoulders. Not to mention he's an excellent public speaker.

Right now, I am inclined to vote in the affirmative for both appointments.

First, it wasn't a deciding factor and I realized it after I'd made the decision.

Second, I was meaning to make that very point. Stereotypically the High Judicator would appoint a very partisan court. I mean not to, so I'm just making the point that it doesn't matter.

When will this be voted on?

Well given that we have no Speaker at the moment (and thus no League Rules of Order), I'm gonna let this and the Interim Speaker topics stand for a day so that people are aware of it, and then move both to the voting chamber for confirmation.

I'm very glad to be chosen for this opportunity for appointment, and will certainly do my best to serve this region well should I be chosen! :D I would, however, like to note that "experience with outside judicial work" involves little more than studying law at A-level (for non-Brits, the A-level is pretty much the lowest level of significant qualification you get. They're not too great for getting jobs; their main use is getting into University.).

Admittedly this, and similar A-levels in Politics and Economics, mean that I'm more qualified than your average internet denizen, but "outside judicial work" makes it sound like I was a magistrate or something! :p
