Spoiler: ♫ Ambience ♫ The Regalian Law Society is an organisation established by Rodderick Howlester to discuss and better educate the denizens in Regalia of matters relating to Regalian Law, its enforcement and its applicability in Regalian Court Trials and Judicial proceedings. With the reintroduction of a new and functioning judiciary, the importance of properly understanding court procedure and cross-examination skills are crucial for any member of the citizenry from High Born to Low and as such, membership is open to anyone with an interest in legal issues, debate or have qualifications or desires to become fully fledged and recognised Trial Makers.As such, the Regalian Law Society will focus upon creating a platform for healthy and competitive legal debate on topics relating to current affairs and will hold judicial reviews on certain laws to propose to the Noble Assembly for consideration. Mock trials will be frequently held to allow for individuals to practice proper court etiquette, cross-examination techniques while also familiarising the society's members with judicial procedure in general The Law Society also functions as a ‘go to’ organisation for those seeking to employ a Trial Maker to speak on their behalf . The Regalian Law Society is divided into two branches. The Lesser Regalian Court and The Vigilant Shield. The Lesser Court deals with civil and criminal judicial matters concerning commoner actions and sometimes, noble actions deferred by the Imperial Judiciary. The Vigilant Shield acts as one of the Crown Isle's law enforcement charters. It's duty is to patrol the city and enforce state law where applicable and detain those with first class citizenship for trial (in some cases). The Regalian Law Society is open to all Regalian Citizens High-Born to Low. Nobility have the right to only have to engage other nobility in debate and will not be forced to engage with Non-Human members. All genders are permitted. Outsiders are not permitted entry into the Law Society due to not having valid citizenship rights. This group has Charter rights and are linked below. The Society has also been granted the ‘General’s Hall’ building Spoiler: Headquarters Applications can be made to Rodderick Howlester via a letter here on this thread, accompanied with the following OOC template.

I believe we have met at least once in our life but even if we haven't I am sure the Spirit will make us see each other one way or another.

May the light guide your path wherever that lies, Wolfgang Drache of the Barony Drachenburg.
