Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 22, Period 1, 03.30.06

[OOC: Still more relatively light stuff. Still more likely non-respondiness at work. Class Info Post.]

"Hello, class! Today we'll be talking about one of the most important figures in the Justice System: The Judge."

"The judge is the Mayor of Justice City. He tells the police they can arrest an evildoer, referees the trials that determine if a person is innocent or guilty, looks off to the side when a superhero causes minor property damage while fighting The Good Fight, and looks keen in a snazzy black robe. The judge is, simply put, the guy to be!"

"Judges get to be judges by being keen lawyers first. If they do their job and impress people enough, they can upgrade from their position as mild-mannered attorneys to become Kings of the Justice Hill!"

"Once you are a judge, it's your right and responsibility to look at the law and make decisions based on it. So while they wield a lot of power, they also have to be careful about using it because it can be used as precedent."

"Today, I'd like you to just talk about judges and the court system a bit. Also be sure to take a little bit of time to work with your group! Your project is due Tuesday!"

Angel took notes. It might be noticed that he was wearing a shirt that was not the norm for him (http://psycho-barbie.livejournal.com/26653.html?thread=498461#t498461).

At Prof. Tick's prompting, he said, "My problem with this is that it relies pretty heavily on lawyers."

"What?" Angel blinked down at himself. "Oh. Yeah. Callisto got it for me. Know what they say: the couple that scrapbooks together has a real good time."

Oddly, of all the things Angel had done in his life using double entendres around Prof. Tick felt like the one thing that absolutely guaranteed he'd be going to Hell.

"Very common saying back in my dimension." Oh yeah. Going to Hell.

"Um, anyway - my worry here is who ever heard of a good lawyer?" Angel asked. He seemed to have geniune curiosity about this. "Does becoming a judge reset all that evil? Turn it into a higher purpose?"

Angel thought about it. "Kind of like ghosts then."

More thinking.

"Could we send all lawyers there?"

"You kinda had me at 'send the lawyers to the great beyond'."

Logan snickered at Angel's t-shirt.

Angel grinned.

He flicked a note to Logan.

Gift from Cal.

Logan nodded in understanding. He tossed a note back.

Better than a frilly pink hat, at least.

Angel quirked an eyebrow and tossed a note back.

Do I want to know?

Veronica. Tea party.

Angel pondered this.

Personally I see you in more of a powder blue.

Logan grinned at that.

Pink looked better on me than it did on Bel.

Angel made a very inelegant snorting sound.

Pictures?

I must make friends with Nadia.
