Permanent Justice Appointment
#12

Since 2013, the regional judiciary has had essentially four iterations:
  1. Supreme Court (a single elected Chief Justice)
  2. High Court (three elected Justices) and Appellate Court (a single appointed Appellate Justice)
  3. High Court (four elected justices with one rotating member recusing for appeals)
  4. High Court (a single appointed Permanent Justice)
Farengeto has been involved in iterations #1, #3 and #4. He happens to be the only person in the region with that distinction. That alone gives him a particularly insight into the workings of the judiciary throughout the years, something that cannot be said of other possible appointees. That is not to say other appointees may not have their own strengths, my point is simply that, in this particular aspect, Farengeto is very qualified.

In terms of his membership of The Island League, I actually do agree that a Justice should not be a member of any political organisation, and made that abundantly clear when the prohibition on joining political organisations was lifted. I should clarify that I, personally, have no doubt that Farengeto would be very professional in handling cases where a conflict of interest would take place, and would recuse where it was necessary, but at the same time I do recognise the potential for bias accusations.

Obviously we should hear from Farengeto, who will be in a better positions to address these concerns, but perhaps a reasonable compromise would be for him to resign from The Island League for the duration of his term. In the future, I really feel it would be in the best interest of the region to restrict Justices from joining political organisations, and requiring them to resign from them before taking office.


Or not. You've obviously blatantly ignored the content and substance of my entire post, so maybe I should do the same with yours and just support Farengeto, regardless of his political affiliations. -_-
