Posted August 17, 2017 I would love to see a court system in place and realistic one as well. I know Motown said there will be no bonds but I would love to see it. Also having jobs like judges, councilors, bounty hunters, etc. And having a cooperation type of bondsman. People can loan bonds but people who decide to not show up to court will have a bounty hunter after them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can have a guy represent you and defend you in the court. Random players are selected to go and be the Jury in the court. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to extend on LuckyDuck's comment a little bit, from what I've heard officially, you won't be able to request a trial unless your sentence is over 15 minutes. I also remember hearing somewhere from the Devs that the players who are chosen to become Jurors (I think that's the right word) to vote on the outcome of the trial, will be chosen from players relatively close to the area you're currently in and will send out a message informing them that they are being requested for Jury Duty. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jury Duty will not be mandatory if you get selected. You have the option to refuse to go (unlike real life) and the game will continue searching for other people. I believe it will indeed be range based and it will start inner and search wider out if necessary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 17, 2018 I hope corporate Law will be a Job where lawyers represent companies and businesses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 25, 2018 I for one hope the developers take their time and design a good law system. Here's how it should work. If you want to become an attorney, you have to start out as a Public Defender, being paid a base salary by the town. As you represent people, players leave feedback/star ratings on your practice. Once the governor deems satisfactory; you would be granted so much tax money to open your private office. The same would be done for District Attorneys. Just like real life, you have to dedicate so much service to the state before you can sign off active duty as a DA and go work for a private office. As a District Attorney, discovery packets appear in your file cabinet as soon as the arrest is made and the officer files the report to the state's office. If the defendant request trial, they should be allowed to make a call from lockup to either a friend or a private law office. Once the office gets the call, the case file would automatically show up in the lawyer's client request and they can either accept or decline the offer. If they accept; a notice would appear on the District Attorney's computer and a court date should be set for preliminary hearing. If there are witnesses the defendant or DA or arresting officer is responsible for putting that information in the case file prior to the preliminary hearing. If they fail to the result of the case could result in a more lenient sentence or possibly an acquittal depending on how much evidence is missing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just hope they both make the jails interesting and being criminal profitable enough to be worth waiting the sentence out in the jails. I for one think that the jail period should be 15 minutes maxium. Otherwise it will get quite boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
