Even on the real-life Supreme Court the judges aren't neutral. There's conservative and liberal judges, and a few moderates as well.
As long as you get people who aren't going to deny a piece of evidence simply because it's from a pairing they don't like, you should be fine.

That's why there are certain members of the court who are considered to be swing votes..
But, this is one of the reasons I said the members of the court shouldn't be active in the war rooms and battlefield -- you can't help one of the armies formulate their arguments and then be considered to be impartial when it's time to pass judgment.. that would be playing both sides of the field!!
But that doesn't mean you can't be active on the boards.. I'm active -- but I've only posted once in the Kataang War Room and once in the Zutara War Room.. (i think)..
Do you want the 3 main armies to pick the court (apparently a soko war room was just created) -- or do you want me to just go autocratic and tell you who you get?
Edit: Is Soko considered to be a 3rd party army or does it get full rights the same as Kataang and Zutara?

If we decide to put it to a vote.. I'm sure ONE of the armies will happily vote you in.. Edit: Each army might need a single veto opportunity.. look out people... this is getting serious

I'm not going to join the court... I have a biased opinion. But I also have an idea, how about asking an admin? They are normally neutral...

We also need the armies to identify their leadership, so we know roles -- I'm not sure who's an ambassador -- who's an avatar -- who's a general -- who's a lemur..
Wilderness -- are you sure you wouldn't rather be Barbara Walters? -- you could write editorials and exposes about the court, the armies, the avatars.. we would all eagerly await your 10 most fascinating people special..

I'd like to join the court. ;D I'm not biased at all, since I've been questioning my position on what ship to join now anyway... >_> Plus I'm inactive in the war rooms. And LOL. Wilderness as Barbara Walters?! That's awesome.

Okay -- although I've received more than 7 responses -- there aren't so many that I think we'll have a problem. I'm going to PM everyone who nominated themselves for the court to get some additional information so I can post a summary of the court's political views.. ie how many Kataangs, Sokos, Zutaras, etc.
I'm also going to the war rooms to discover who's officially representing their armies so we can figure out the first "topic" for debate...
If anyone has any other issues or concerns -- now is the time to put them out here...

Lol, Barbara Walters, eh? Sounds good to me. Yeah, I could never be on the court, I'm far far too biased. This sounds like an interesting idea. Yeah, Babbs and Awapuhi would be excellent choices, I think, for court members.

^ Thanks. I told Cami I'd do it, if there is still room.Probably as the Zutarian Avatar, because I don't usually formulate theories anyways. And I already try to keep peace and organize........ And guys- I have to say, if needed I can be called upon to "be" neutral over seer, but I would rather be Zutarian avatar, peacemaker/overseer duties only called on when needed.
