User blog comment:The Leader/RP: Court Case - Federal Government and The X Leader VS. Fisch and Dan/@comment-811766-20100518031504

Also, you're not using court citation correctly.

This would actually be, in short mode, "Fisch v. Antarctica", and in full case name, "Fisch Hochstadt Duke of Snowzerland v. United States of Antarctica, et al.".

In court, it's "v.", not "VS" or the proper "versus". When the case is challenging a federal law, statute, or policy, it's usually versus {country name}, as in the government. "Et al." means "and others"n which would encompass X Leader and the customs office and extradition mandate of Snowzerland.

For you laymen, this case is a classic example of extradition. Fisch has fled Snowzerland because he is persecuted and has done something wrong. His homeland wants to summon him back to them so he can stand trial under their laws and judicial circuit. However, the plaintiff, Fisch, claims that his "crimes" were made mainly because he is a political or ideological enemy of the state. This persecution made him flee illegally, and now, he declares that he can't go back, even by judicial mandate, because of fear of harsh persecution by the authortarian Snoss government. Fisch needs to prove he is persecuted and that his crimes, if they exist, are a part of that. Read Melvin's talk message at Fisch and X Leader for more on the issue. Also, no one seems to get the point of "standing trial" here. Both sides need a case to argue and witnesses (if possible). Saying "I agree with this guy" isn't court, and impersonating Judge Xavier does not make it any more realistic.

You all need to carry this RP case out, though, so that I can know who wins.

You need to present evidence and give witnesses. Afterwards, we can cross-examine the witnesses and do all sorts of cool stuff.

Please, roleplay some more! --TurtleShroom on the road! Beep beep beep beep yeah! :)   Jesus Loves You and Died for You!!!!!!!!!!! 03:15, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
