We shouldn't fear a "what if" conflict of interest, instead we should be able to trust that they can make the right decision. Addressing your first point, we already have a mechanism for CRS CoIs which we are all pretty much agreeing that isn't the big problem, its the party affiliation. But, (serious) parties have now existed for an entire year (It's actually the 1 year anniversary of the APC today), and there hasn't been a single case brought to the court by either party. Still, one might ask, "What if we have a party case?", I say take a chance, one recuse from one case isn't the end of the world, and definitely shouldn't bar anyone from being on the court. We have a pool of justices for the rare occasions on which the PJ must recuse. On to your second point, Just like Roavin said, Farengeto has not drafted any part of court reform, If you would like to verify that, join the APC discord and look through what we have, he isn't even on the thread for court reform. Also, are you saying that if lets say, Glen or Bel, or anyone else drafted a law, and was later put on to the court, and later that law was brought to the court, I could trust that one of the architects of that law could clarify what they meant, without bias. Addressing your last point, when there is "procedural due process, a contradiction of law, or judicial misconduct", to my understanding a pool justice will verify those claims, and decide an appeal. As for legal cases, I trust that bias can be cast aside for the rare time a CoI may arise. In the end, I can't recall that there has been a CoI that I've seen since I've been here. We do need to work out a new system, which is why we should work out court reform further. -Griffindor/Ebonhand
