Judicial Branch:

To go to court, you must charge someone or be charged. In order to charge someone, you must contact the judge and tell them why you believe a certain someone or group of people should be punished. If the judge accepts your case, a court session will be held on a post with a live chat.

Once the court session begins, 30 minutes will be granted for everyone to arrive. If both sides are not in attendance after 30 minutes, the judge will have the option to postpone the court case or only hear from one side. If both sides are in attendance, the judge will moderate the case and give each side a chance to speak. At the end of the case, the judge will either decide the defendant as guilty or innocent. If innocent, no punishment is enforced. If guilty, the judge can decide the punishment, which has limits.

• 1 day - 2 week ban with or without a public execution.

• A public apology.

• An inability to be in a government position for 1-3 weeks.

Serious offenses include rigging polls, using ALT accounts for support, threats, and breaking the already implemented rules of r/WeeklyDictator. If any of these happen, the dictator and u/LordDucktilious will be called in to give a more serious punishment.
