Any court or arbitration system on Earth in any half-developed country publishes its methods.
Think: "How to get a Dispute Solved for Dummies".
People rely on adjudication to reduce the worst risks in a place, by being a reliable, predictable tempering influence.
It's not like we'd need much.
"No thanks" to a judiciary with lots of gold braid. Let's be clear. Nothing like the complex system proposed in 2006 is needed in CDS. You can see, even from the post-hoc summary thread, that those debates were a fractious, pompous, overheated mess. The tone of those debates seemed unprofessional and ineffective on all sides. (Much worse than what I went through in 2008, and had to ride like a rodeo cowboy as LRA, with the disputes between ThePrincess, Gwyneth and Alexicon.) All the same, I think the RA reached the right conclusion. That 2006 overdesigned system was too unwieldy and Baroque for an 80-citizen virtual micronation.
Think in terms of two pages. Rather, this is what I'd have hoped the SC would do: one or two pages of simple explanatory procedure, publicly posted, would be plenty. How to file a complaint? Where? What the panel can do. Is there an appeal? What rules are applied. etc. But something simple to set expectations is essential. Go look at the brochure for any arbitration agency.
Imagine that you are a citizen with a dispute ... not a lawyer! ... maybe you have been banned by a mean Chancellor, or the Estate Owner's secret alt, and want to get back in. There is at present NO way to get ANY idea how to proceed ... if you don't know the SC ... except to throw yourself on the mercy of a connected buddy ...or find the unknown, great & powerful Oz ... who has no rules ... if you can find them ... and might be your opponent's cousin. Or alt. C'mon.
Those basic fairness issues have been a real problem in some other micronation sims ... where some owners or mayors are said to ban their rivals, critics, old girlfriends, whatever. Surely we can be more transparent, accountable and approachable. Not just to our buddies ... but to strangers and new citizens who can't decode our methods using the buddy system.
