Rule of Criminal Procedure 14

See Stormwind Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Rule 14. Public Records.
The Chief Justice's office must keep records of criminal proceedings in written form, and must enter in the records every court order or judgment and the date of entry.

Commentary
Recordkeeping, the bane of the practice of law. Nine out of ten times, hiccups and problems in its pursuit are due to shoddy recordkeeping.

But don't look at it as paperwork in the SCLE; look at it as having the privilege of helping some roleplayers make a lasting, written record of their amazing story. They can later look back on it and refresh their memories of an epic crime or an epic catch--and remember how that magistrate helped them get through what would otherwise have been yet another jailbreak or another long hiatus from RP.

This is their story, but you are one of the heroes. We thank you for that hard work, magistrates.
