The Stormwind Rules of Criminal Procedure are the rules set forth for all criminal trials in the Kingdom of Stormwind's courts. The Rules are established and amended by the Justices of the courts.

Necessary Disclaimer
Note: ''These rules are intended to help establish the proper flow and procedure for an RP trial of criminal matters. They exist for the purpose of smoothing the way for a good courtroom story by creating a clear and orderly process. Barristers and magistrates operating within the Courts of Law and Equity are expected to uphold these rules and operate by them.''

Acknowledgments
''These Rules of Criminal Procedure are based upon the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure of the United States of America. They were altered for use in this setting and compiled by the joint effort of Arranax and Jeremaias.''

''These rules are not intended to be used to obstruct the smooth and entertaining flow of roleplay. They are intended to help prevent IC courts from having to reinvent the wheel and therefore turning out inconsistent and unfair verdicts and sentences, and to give all roleplayers a concrete picture of what they may expect from law-enforcement and criminal roleplay within the Courts of Law and Equity.''

''The rules are subject to amendment by the decisions of the Chief Justice. Amendments will be published to an updates page (to be designated), and edits will be made accordingly to the above rule pages.''
