Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 22, Period 1, 03.30.06

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[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!"

"How did you not know? It's all over the radio," Jaye protests. If you can protest before the other person says or does anything. And she's keeping the M&M now.

"I don't always listen to the radio," she says.

"You should start. We're funny," she says, and because she doesn't want to get hit anymore, she says, "You didn't suck last night."

"Is it that you're not a fan of M&M's?"

"You're the damn duck," Aeryn tells her.

"I could possibly stand to be the duck," Jaye says. Because Aeryn hits hard.

She turns around in her seat. "Can you see if there's a bruise on the back of my head?"

Aeryn ignores her.

And steals an M&M.
