54RZ14 - The This Ain't it, Chief Act

WHEREAS , the proper, Organic title of the uppermost Justice of the Uppermost Court is "Senior Justice"; and

WHEREAS , this is a nice peculiarity that sets us aside from the differently-named position in our Big Neighbor's judiciary; and

WHEREAS , I have said in the past that this difference is not just philosophical, as the two positions are filled differently; and also:

WHEREAS , the present Senior Justice has an illegal wig; and also:

WHEREAS , incidentally, the present system of shipping items of rank through the King might be unwieldy if, for instance, both the former and the new incumbent live in Europe; so

THEREFORE, El Lexhatx F.39 is amended to read:

39. The office of Seneschal, Secretary of State, and Senior Justice shall be symbolized by totem items of rank. These items will be provided as speedily as possible by the government, with care for their quality and the economics of the matter. Designs and the nature of the items are the responsibility of the government, through whatever channels it deems appropriate. (38RZ3)(48RZ19)

39.1. The Seneschal shall wear a chain of office of sufficient ostentation as befits the leader of Talossa, representing the burden of being shackled to the nation's welfare.

39.2. The Secretary of State shall wield a stamp embossed with the logo of his office, being both an effective and appropriate totem that can be used henceforth.

39.3. The Senior Justice shall bear a wig of reasonable quality, indicating a traditional role as a judge and the flowing locks of Lady Justice herself.

39.4. Each bearer of these items shall be required, if they lose their office, to mail them to the King within two weeks, from whom the items shall be passed on to the next holder of the office. Should the next holder of the office be known within two weeks, the former incumbent may contact the King and the new incumbent to arrange for the direct shipment of the item to the new incumbent, if the King so authorizes.
