Term 6 Nominations for Public Defender

The Public Defender is a member of the Judiciary.

In addition, the Public Defender will act as council to an accused citizen, if the accused citizen wishes.

Please note that you may nominate any number of citizens for this position, including yourself. A nomination must be accepted by the person who was nominated to be considered valid. You may only accept one nomination, but you may change your mind about accepting and declining a nomination as many times as you like up until the deadline. Candidates will be listed in order of their (last) acceptance in the election poll.

Nominations will close on May 27th at 2:00 PM EDT (18:00 UTC).

I nominate the current Public Defender, Cyc

 

[donsig]

I second Cyc's nomination but I've also nominated him for CJ.

 

[GeorgeOP]

I would like to self nominate, and I accept.

 

[Cyc]

I self-nominated for PD last Term as we were having trouble finding bodies to fill the ranks. I chose the Judiciary because I truly enjoy serving on the bench. But this Term I have seen a marked difference in the resistance to the Judicial system. Frankly I'm tired of reading slanderous remarks and threats against the jurors. So, thank you, but no thank you. I decline.

Congratulations, GeorgeOP! As the sole candidate for this position, you are automatically elected Public Defender for Term 6.
