| The Court setting shall be a Judge’s seat set 2 blocks above ground level, an Assembly section placed 1 block above ground level to the judge’s right, a Parliament section placed 1 block above ground level to the judge’s left, and an accused area set at ground level. The Judge’s seat must consist of a single seat of any sort and must not exceed a total area of 3x3. The Assembly section must consist of 5 seats in an X pattern, with the Assembly Speaker’s seat directly in the middle. The seats must be exactly 1 sideways block, on alternating rows, 1 block away from the middle, and must not have any signs of any sort upon the seats. The total space for this section must be a maximum of 7x7. The Parliament’s section must contain 10 seats, with the speaker’s chair in the middle of the front row of 5, and a row of 5 behind. Each row must be exactly 1 block away from the others, and each seat must be exactly 1 blocks away from each other. The total area of the Parliament section must not exceed 7x5. Each of the Speaker’s chairs must be centered with the other, and each section must have a total of 7 blocks of space between each section. There is to be a top-slab wall in front of each section, dividing it from the rest of the area. Neither section should go beyond the beginning of the Judge’s Seat. The accused’s seat shall be a single chair directly centered in the room, without signs. It must be exactly 7 blocks away from the judge’s seat. A wooden fence shall divide the crowd from the court, with a gate of the same type of fence on either side of the middling fence. | | The proceedings shall go as followed: All members of the court shall take their seats, and proceedings shall begin. The Judge shall proclaim the case in question, and shall call to begin. The accused shall state his case in 10 messages or less. The prosecution (otherwise known as the Parliament) shall then make their case in 10 messages or less. This is Round 1. The Judge shall initiate additional rounds as he/she sees fit. After a decision has been made, the Judge will call for a final round, where each side (accused starting) says one final message to summarize their case. The Judge may then ask a single question of either side. The Assembly must sign their side to a written book (each with his own). The Judge shall then give the final verdict, as voted on (casting a tie-breaking vote when needed), and decides on the punishment as it so fits the crime. |

| All members are allowed a written book to write notes about the case. These written books's titles are to be signed as either Yes or No, as a member of the Assembly, which shall act as a vote for innocence or guiltiness. There is no innocence OR guiltiness until otherwise proven (so no burden upon one side or the other). | | All members are allowed a written book to write notes about the case.
