The Redmont Bar Association (Chair Unseatedduke1)
Plaintiff

v.

Royalsnakee
Defendant

COMPLAINT

Under the provisions outlined in the Super Modern Legal Board Act, the Redmont Bar Association initiates this legal action seeking the disbarment of Royalsnakee. Royalsnakee, the attorney in question, has demonstrated a consistent disregard for the established standards mandated by the SMLBA, the RBA charter, and court protocols. In the case of Royalsnakee v. IIKermitII [2024] DCR 7, the attorney exhibited egregious misconduct by repeatedly speaking out of turn on TEN occasions. The defendant displayed blatant disrespect towards the presiding officer by using vulgar language, stating, "MOVE YOUR ASS." Royalsnakee faced charges of contempt of court and continuously flouted procedural rules. Royalsnakee also failed to provide a closing statement, resulting in a second contempt of court charge. In the case of Royalsnakee v. The Commonwealth of Redmont [2024] FCR 23, the defendant received a warning for disruptive behavior. Despite being granted a 72-hour period to file an opening statement on March 8th, 2024, the defendant failed to comply, resulting in a delay of nine days without progress in the case. This failure to adhere to court directives reflects a pattern of disregard for legal proceedings. In the case of Dimitre077 v. Freeze29 [2023] FCR 35, Royalsnakee , was found in contempt of court for speaking out of turn. The judge also advised the plaintiff in the case to seek alternative legal representation due to Royalsnakees inadequate performance. Following this, the judge held Royalsnakee in contempt of court for another separate offense. In [2023] FCR 35 - Appeal Request - [2023] SCR 10 the judge charged Royalsnakee 1 count of frivolous cases due to the egregious nature of the appeal. In addition to these legal infractions, Royalsnakee has also engaged in numerous ethical violations, including hurling derogatory slurs at RBA members and launching verbal attacks against fellow attorneys. This attorney was also dismissed from a law firm for inadequate representation of a client, as evidenced in FCR 23 by the failure to file an opening statement, thereby misrepresenting their abilities and wasting the court's time. The Redmont Bar Association upholds rigorous standards for legal practitioners, emphasizing professionalism both inside and outside the courtroom, adherence to court procedures, and zealous advocacy for clients. Royalsnakee has failed to meet these standards in every aspect, exhibiting a consistent disregard for the law, ethical principles, and the professionalism expected of an attorney.

I. PARTIES
  1. The Redmont Bar Association
  2. Royalsnakee

II. FACTS
  1. In the case of "Dimitre077 V Freeze29 [2023] FCR 35," Royalsnakee provided inadequate representation for their client, was held in contempt of court twice, and repeatedly disrupted court proceedings by speaking out of turn.

  2. In the appeal [2023] FCR 35 - Appeal Request - [2023] SCR 10 the court charged Royalsnakee for filing a frivolous case.

  3. In the case of "Royalsnakee v. IIKermitII [2024] DCR 7," Royalsnakee violated court decorum by speaking out of turn on ten occasions, disregarding established court procedures, and was held in contempt of court. Royalsnakee also failed to provide a closing statement, resulting in a second contempt of court charge.

  4. In the case of "Royalsnakee v. The Commonwealth of Redmont [2024] FCR 23," Royalsnakee received a warning for speaking out of turn and was granted a 72-hour period to submit an opening statement. Despite the allotted time, Royalsnakee failed to file the statement within the given timeframe plus nine days, resulting in a waste of court resources and a misrepresentation of themselves.

  5. An investigation into Royalsnakee's conduct was conducted by the RBA ethics committee. During the hearing, Royalsnakee displayed a lack of cooperation, rudeness, and defensiveness, further highlighting their disregard for professional and ethical standards.

  6. Royalsnakee engaged in derogatory behavior towards members of the Redmont Bar Association (RBA), using offensive slurs against them.

  7. Royalsnakee stated his intention to disclose confidential conversations from his prior tenure at the Redmont Law Firm.

  8. Over the past year, Royalsnakee's conduct as an attorney has been concerning. They have faced contempt of court charges on four occasions, faced a frivolous case charge, displayed a pattern of speaking out of turn over 15 times, and delivered substandard representation to clients, ultimately resulting in their termination from the RLF for inadequate performance.



III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
  1. The defendant violated the law and was held in contempt of court twice in Royalsnakee v. IIKermitII [2024] DCR 7. This violation of the law under the SMLBA is grounds for disbarment for excessively committing contempt of court.

  2. The defendant violated the law and was held in contempt of court twice in Dimitre077 v. Freeze29 [2023] FCR 35. This violation of the law under the SMLBA is grounds for disbarment for excessively committing contempt of court.

  3. The defendant violated the law and was charged with frivolous case in [2023] FCR 35 - Appeal Request - [2023] SCR 10. This violation of the law under the SMLBA is grounds for disbarment. Excessively filing frivolous court cases.

  4. The defendant violated court procedure in the case of Royalsnakee v. IIKermitII [2024] DCR 7 and Royalsnakee v. The Commonwealth of Redmont [2024] FCR 23.

  5. The defendant failed to represent clients to the best of their ability and violated ethical standards.

  6. The defendant violated the law and was held in contempt of court in Redmont Bar Association v. Royalsnakee [2024] FCR 38. This violation of the SMLBA constitutes grounds for disbarment due to repeated contempt of court.

  7. The defendant violated the law and was held in contempt of court in royalsnakee v. Commonwealth of Redmont [2024] FCR 23. This violation of the SMLBA also warrants disbarment for repeated contempt of court.

IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF
The Plaintiff seeks the following from the Defendant:
  1. Disbarment of Royalsnakee for a duration of two months, followed by a mandatory retesting procedure. Upon passing the retest, Royalsnakee may seek re-licensure.

  2. Mandate for the defendant to enroll in a legal course provided by the RBA, which must be completed during the disbarment period if re-licensure is sought.

  3. Prohibition on Royalsnakee's engagement in any prosecutorial role, including special prosecutor assignments, at the DLA for the duration of the two-month disbarment period.

  4. Punitive damages are sought for outrageous behavior, including repeated violations of the law on seven occasions, verbal attacks against fellow attorneys, and the use of derogatory language directed at the RBA. We request a fine of $15,000 as recompense.

By making this submission, I agree I understand the penalties of lying in court and the fact that I am subject to perjury should I knowingly make a false statement in court.

DATED: This 17th day of March 2024

Thank You
@royalsnakee is hereby found in Contempt of Court and I order the DOJ to fine/jail accordingly.

Now, this case will not be entering summary judgement. Due to the nature of the case wishing to disbar an attorney and bar them from the position, I see this as needing a public defender to defend them.

Given that we will be going into recess pending a Public Defender.
 
IN THE COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
MOTION TO RECONSIDER

Your Honor,

Under the Public Defender Program, a public defender is only appointed in the following circumstances:

  • In a criminal case that would otherwise result in default judgment.
  • In a civil case that would otherwise result in default judgment, and the defendant has no Forums account and no Discord account in the DemocracyCraft Discord server.
  • In a civil case that would otherwise result in default judgment, and the defendant is legally inactive (having less than 6 hours of playtime in the last 30 days).
  • When the defendant requests a public defender.
Since none of these criteria apply to the present case, the RBA respectfully requests that you issue a summary judgment as outlined in the Writ of Summons.
 
Firstly, I'd like to apologize for how long this has taken me to publish. I had irl commitments and other taking up time which delayed the posting of this.

The Motion to Reconsider will be overruled and there are multiple reasons for this:

1. Your attempting to not only remove their profession but also bar them from holding it. This can be argued is in a similar manner as say Corruption or Treason where you attempt to bar someone from office which is a criminal case. This although yes a civil case, is attempting to do the same thing just with a different form of punishment. This is not an attempt to bar someone from holding office rather, bar someone from holding a profession.

2. Public Defenders are under the discretion of the Presiding Judge, those listed are ones that we must get a Public Defender for. Beyond that we can still order a Public Defender and given again, you are attempting to remove someone's ability to hold a profession until they take a course, I saw this as a need for a Public Defender.

3. This decision was not my decision alone, this was a decision made with fellow members of the Judiciary for insight and their take on the idea of bring a Public Defender as a whole. We deemed that a Public Defender is needed for this kind of case as at heart, this can be seen as a criminal trial which leads into my last point:

4. This case can be seen as a criminal trial or not in two ways, these are them listed:

The case is attempting to remove someone's ability to hold a profession and then block them from holding it, while this is not Supreme Court jurisdiction, the ability to bar someone from doing something such as hold public office, has been primarily used within criminal trials.
The case is a civil lawsuit given they are not attempting to charge the Defendant with any crime and beyond that, criminal charges can only be issued by the Department of Legal Affairs.

Now, I have opted for the first reasoning as to how I see this case. Although not strictly criminal, there are enough elements regarding the charges that warrant me seeing this as a hybrid of both. Asking for someone's ability to hold an office even if a profession, is inherently a remedy to someone breaking a serious law such as treason or criminal and although all reasons listed are minor, everyone deserves fair representation within lawsuits.

While this may be say a "bad interpretation" or "dumb interpretation" this is the interpretation that I saw fit. This trial is, and I understand I keep repeating myself, have criminal elements to it thus warranting a Public Defender in my eyes. Now should anyone wish to defend the Defendant I wish them to step forward.
 
Your honor, royalsnakee has acquired me as his legal counsel, I request a 48 hour extension to post the answer to complaint.

Plaintiff


V


royalsnakee


ANSWER TO COMPLAINT
1) The defense partially disputes this claim, and notes that the judge only stated that the plaintiff should find different legal representation if royalsnakee was too occupied. Additionally, if this has to do with the defendant's skill, skill isn't a reason to be disbarred by the R. B. A. (disputed: "Royalsnakee provided inadequate representation for their client")
2) The defense affirms this claim, however, notes that per the R. B. A. charter, the R. B. A. can only move to disbar a member with excessive frivolous court charges. As there is only one singular charge, it is irrelevant in this case.
3) The defense affirms this claim, however, notes that the second contempt of court charge was caused by a staff issue, and during that time the defendant was unable to post anything onto the forums.
4) The defense
affirms this claim, however, notes that the failure to post on the forums was related to the same staff issue. It was a waste of court resources/time, but it was caused by staff issues.
5) The defense neither confirms nor denies this claim, as no evidence has been provided showing this behavior, and not knowing exactly what the defendant said (if anything) is key in this matter.
6) The defense
neither confirms nor denies this claim, as no evidence has been provided showing this behavior, and not knowing exactly what the defendant said (if anything) is key in this matter.
7) The defense
neither confirms nor denies this claim, as no evidence has been provided showing this behavior, and not knowing exactly what the defendant said (if anything) is key in this matter.
8) The defense
affirms this claim, however, notes that there is no key definition for "excessive," and 4 contempt of court charges may not be excessive based on the court's ruling.


DEFENSES
1) The defendant's skill should not be taken into account in this case, as he is clearly enthusiastic in his court cases, and skill is not a reason for disbarment nor punitive damages. He is clearly representing clients to the best of his ability.
2) There is no clear definition of "excessive," and 4 contempt of court charges are likely not this.
3) Based on the fact that the SMLBA states "excessive," it's simple to understand that 1 frivolous court charge would not count as this.

4) As of now, there is no evidence to suggest that the defendant made rude claims toward the R. B. A. members nor gave the intention of disclosing confidential information.
5) Some of the contempt of court charges were caused by an unrelated staff issue during which the defendant was unable to post anything onto the forums.
 
Thank you, we will now be moving into Discovery, this will last 7 days.

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
PLAINTIFF OPENING STATEMENT



Ladies and Gentlemen of the Court,

Today, we gather in this esteemed chamber not merely to judge the actions of an individual, but to uphold the very pillars upon which the law stands. The Redmont Bar Association, the head of legal ethics and standards within our community, brings forth this case with a heavy heart, yet with an unwavering intent to resolve. Our pursuit is not one of vendetta, but of necessity – necessity born from the solemn duty to preserve the sanctity of our legal system. In legal history, there exists a code of conduct, a sacred covenant between an attorney and justice. It is a code that demands respect for the law, adherence to procedural norms, and above all, unwavering dedication to the cause of justice. Sadly, it is this very code that the defendant, Royalsnakee, has chosen to flout with reckless abandon.

Let us address the grave issue of repeated contempt of court. On multiple occasions, Royalsnakee has demonstrated a blatant disregard for the authority of this esteemed court. Contempt, not merely in words, but in actions – actions that betray the very law itself. We will hear of instances where decorum was abandoned, where the sanctity of legal proceedings was trampled. And yet, even in the face of censure, the defendant remained unrepentant, persisting in their disruptive behavior.

We must also confront the specter of frivolous litigation. The defendant stands accused of abusing the legal system, of treating justice as a mere pawn. Frivolity, a term that belies the gravity of their actions – actions that not only waste the resources of this court but also undermine the integrity of our judicial process. We cannot ignore the disturbing pattern of ethical issues that have come to light. Derogatory slurs, threats of confidentiality breaches – these are not the actions befitting of an attorney. And yet, Royalsnakee has shown no remorse, no inclination towards redemption. Your Honor, the evidence before us paints a picture of a legal practitioner gone astray. A path littered with broken norms, shattered ethics, and a blatant disregard for the very essence of the law. It is our obligation to ensure that such issues do not go unpunished.

In this case, the defense will attempt to shift the narrative, portraying the past as distant and irrelevant, while asserting that the defendant has taken on a newfound path. Such assertions do not align with recent events; they remain pertinent and have happened within a relatively short time frame. The defense may argue that the defendant's lack of access to forums during their temporary ban absolves them of any responsibility. Yet, this assertion lacks merit, as evidenced by a staff ticket indicating that players are only banned under specific circumstances, none of which apply to the defendant.

We ask for disbarment, not as an act of vengeance, but as a necessary measure to safeguard the integrity of our legal profession. Punitive damages, not as a means of retribution, but as a deterrent against future issues.

Thank you.
 
Thank you, the Defense now has 72 hours to provide their Opening Statement.
 
IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
OPENING STATEMENT

Your honor, may it please the court,

Many of the contempt of court charges were caused by a staff forum ban. Even assuming that they weren’t, the prosecution’s wording compared to the Redmont Bar Association Charter is distinct, as the prosecution uses, “repeated,” and, “multiple,” while the Charter uses, “excessive.” Two very subtle differences that show that my client has not obtained excessive contempt of court charges only repeated or multiple. The prosecution attempts to explain that this legal action is out of, “necessity,” while in reality, it is only to strengthen the belief that the Redmont Bar Association is all-powerful. No one is being put in danger here, and this is a simple case of brute force being smitten upon my client, brute force that has already been put on him by staff, making the punitive damages already upheld, and therefore making it null and void. It is clear when looking through the cases involving my client, that my client is not intentionally abandoning legal protocol, and the Redmont Bar Association is thirsty to hammer down on lawyers to show off their strength.

Firstly, the prosecution and the Redmont Bar Association Charter use exact wording. While the prosecution results in wording such as “repeated,” or “multiple,” the Redmont Bar Association Charter uses “excessive.” It is common knowledge that “excessive,” is generally associated with being more than “repeated,” or “multiple.” As of now, there is no clear definition of “excessive,” but the prosecution has outlined that my client has obtained repeated/multiple charges of contempt of court, and due to there being no definition, and that the term “excessive,” is generally associated with being more than “repeated,” or “multiple,” the amount of contempt of court charges are not enough to warrant disbarment. Additionally, although my client has violated the law, he has already been punished for these actions. It is based solely on speculation that my client has a “blatant disregard for the law,” as only he can decide whether or not he disregards the law, and his actions have already been properly dealt with.

Secondly, the defendant’s claim of my client’s single frivolous court charge also does not align with a reason for the Redmont Bar Association to disbar. There is very exact wording in the Redmont Bar Association Charter: “excessive.” I hope I do not have to tell you, but a single frivolous court charge would not be considered as “excessive.”

Thirdly, the prosecution seeking punitive damages is clearly double jeopardy. My client has been deported by staff for his actions and is remorseful. Why should my client be punished for the same incident twice? The prosecution may argue that staff are not officially part of the government and that the courts haven’t properly punished my client, however, it is seen in the constitution that staff are indeed a part of the government, and although they generally have different roles, they sometimes mix responsibilities, such as punishing behavior. They have already properly punished my client for his behavior with a one-hundred-day deportation, and my client only deserves one punishment for a single act of behavior (See the submission made by the defense during discovery).

Fourthly, the prosecution states, “these are not the actions befitting of an attorney.” My client’s skill should not be taken into account as it doesn’t strengthen any prayers for relief that the prosecution is seeking and is only an attack on my client to portray him as “evil.” Can the prosecution read my client’s mind? Absolutely not. The prosecution has no grounds to state that, “[Royalsnakee has] no inclination towards redemption,” as he has absolutely no idea whatsoever about what my client is/isn’t inclined to do.

Lastly, though there is no proof, it’s reasonable to assume that the defendant did not intentionally abandon his cases. Based on the “Staff Insight” submission made by the prosecution, it is possible to be forum-banned. There was no motive for my client to stop his legal practices cold turkey, and when looking at the dates, they match up. This would be the cause of some of the contempt of court charges, which would further lower the amount and make it certainly not, “excessive.”

In conclusion, even assuming that my client wasn’t forum-banned and “just decided” to stop his legal practice, the amount of charges isn’t enough to justify a disbarment. Additionally, my client has already been punished by the government, (staff) with a one hundred day deport, for his actions. This is a clear instance of double jeopardy that diminishes the need for punitive damages. The Redmont Bar Association is clearly hungry for lawsuits, and my client is the victim of an attack designed to belittle him for frivolous claims.
 
Alright, we will now be moving into Witness Testimony, given only the Defense called a Witness they will start.

I will be issuing summons shortly.

OBJECTION
Perjury

Your Honor, the witness has just committed perjury by lying under oath. It has been clearly stated by staff that individuals are only banned from forums if they are permanently banned from the game. As evidenced below, Royalsnakee was not permanently banned. An official staff ticket confirms this statement. The witness's lack of credibility and blatant disregard for the law only compound their misconduct. We ask that you hold them in contempt, strike what they said and remove them as a witness.

The Defense has 24 hours to respond to the objection.
 
Your Honor, I have not committed perjury and as seen in the screenshot the ban is still active and also they are doing failrp by involving staff and taking a handled staff matter and trying to take it into a government matter, All due respect but this witch hunt started after I got into an argument with the RBA who happens to be the people who got me banned from the server for toxicity and now they are seeking all this stuff so the true question your honor should be if they need to be charged with contempt and also Corruption.

OBJECTION
Breach of Procedure

Your Honor, the Redmont Bar Association does not have the authority to impose bans, as this falls under the purview of the staff. Temporary deportation does not equate to a forum ban, as evidenced by Royalsnakee's current activity on this forum. This procedural breach pertains to addressing his motion to dismiss, which should have been filed prior to the commencement of opening statements.
 
Alright, to make things easier, I will be granting the Objection for Breach of Procedure. There isn't an argument to be made regarding the statements either, Motion to Dismiss is to be done before Opening Statements and we are in Witness Testimony.

With that, I will still be allowing the 24 hours for the Objection regarding Perjury however, unless the Defense wants to confirm that the response put forth by the Witness is in fact that rebuttal they wish to use, they may still publish a response.

I am also issuing a complete and formal warning to Royalsnakee to not speak out of turn again. Unless you state you are representing yourself and have forgone your representation, you are merely a witness currently. I also warn you not to speak so harshly to the opposing side, the actions you did were via the Government and thus your ban is irrelevant to the legitimacy of the lawsuit.
 
RESPONSE TO OBJECTION

Your honor,
Based on the "Staff Insight" image, xEndeavour, the owner of the server, clearly states that forum bans may be put in place if deemed necessary. It is still possible that a staff member deemed it necessary to forum ban the witness.
 
OBJECTION
Perjury

Your Honor, the witness has just committed perjury by lying under oath. It has been clearly stated by staff that individuals are only banned from forums if they are permanently banned from the game. As evidenced below, Royalsnakee was not permanently banned. An official staff ticket confirms this statement. The witness's lack of credibility and blatant disregard for the law only compound their misconduct. We ask that you hold them in contempt, strike what they said and remove them as a witness.

I will be overruling this objection, as although yes they were not perm deported and we cannot confirm they were banned from the forums due to the very evidence that was provided states that staff do not keep logs of Forum bans. Whether or not the Defendant was banned from the Forums or not we may never know thus the Objection although yes could be seen as perjury, ultimately I fail to see reason for this to be approved.
 
OBJECTION Assumes facts not in evidence.

Your Honor, as you noted, it remains uncertain whether there is concrete evidence establishing whether the defendant was indeed banned from forums. Therefore, the assertion made by the defendant presupposes the truthfulness of an individual's claim without substantiating evidence.

MOTION TO STRIKE

Your Honor, we respectfully request that the defendant's responses be stricken from the record. Their statement relies solely on personal assertions which are biased and without supporting evidence regarding their alleged forum ban, thus introducing facts not supported by the evidence presented.

MOTION TO CALL ADDITIONAL WITNESS(ES) AFTER DISCOVERY

Your Honor, we respectfully seek permission to introduce a special witness after the discovery phase. We propose calling staff to the stand to address any ambiguity surrounding the evidence already presented. This would contribute to a clearer understanding of the case at hand.


Thank you.
 
RESPONSE TO OBJECTION

The definition of "Assumes facts not in evidence" is the following: "the question assumes something as true for which no evidence has been shown." The question which I asked doesn't assume something to be true. The witness testimony is meant to shed light on whether it is true or not.
 
The Defense has 24 hours to respond to the Motion to Strike.

As for the Motion of Additional Witnesses, I will be granting this as it will clear up any issues regarding the deportation of Royalsnakee. I will issue summons after Royalsnakee's testimony as to keep everything organized.
 
RESPONSE TO MOTION TO STRIKE

The point of a witness testimony is to ask witnesses questions about an incident. This doesn't mean that there has to already be concrete proof, as that would defeat the purpose of a witness testimony. In other words, the witness testimony, definitive or not, counts as proof.
 
OBJECTION Assumes facts not in evidence.

Your Honor, as you noted, it remains uncertain whether there is concrete evidence establishing whether the defendant was indeed banned from forums. Therefore, the assertion made by the defendant presupposes the truthfulness of an individual's claim without substantiating evidence.

MOTION TO STRIKE

Your Honor, we respectfully request that the defendant's responses be stricken from the record. Their statement relies solely on personal assertions which are biased and without supporting evidence regarding their alleged forum ban, thus introducing facts not supported by the evidence presented.

MOTION TO CALL ADDITIONAL WITNESS(ES) AFTER DISCOVERY

Your Honor, we respectfully seek permission to introduce a special witness after the discovery phase. We propose calling staff to the stand to address any ambiguity surrounding the evidence already presented. This would contribute to a clearer understanding of the case at hand.


Thank you.
So, for the Objection, I will be overruling this as if staff have no logs of it then we can only rely on testimony. Unless you wish to drop the argument entirely, we have to work with what we have.

As for the Motion to Strike, this also will be overruled given no real reason was given to strike the testimony. They questions did in fact provide more insight into the matter regarding forums ban and although it may have been from a bias source, if no other evidence can be provided or found then witness testimony is what remains from a bias source or not. Unless evidence can be made contradicting the testimony, this is what we have to use.

All of this will also be cleared up once Staff is summoned to testify.

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF

Good day, your honor.

Today, I approach you as a friend of the courts. I seek to provide legal analysis of some key terms and this case, without arguing for either party.

Key Terms
Disbarment: The revocation of "the practicing license of a lawyer through a lawsuit after an investigation and majority vote of the RBA Council, including the RBA Chairperson."
Source: Act of Congress - Super Modern Legal Board Act

Excessive: "Exceeding what is right, proportionate, or desirable; immoderate, inordinate, extravagant."
Source: Oxford English Dictionary (Oxford Dictionary - the legal dictionary of Redmont according to the Clarity Act)

Disbarment Requirements
Cause for disbarment are strictly limited to the following:
  • Excessively committing perjury
  • Breaching Attorney-Client privilege three or more times
  • Excessively filing frivolous court cases
  • Excessively committing contempt of court
Source: Act of Congress - Super Modern Legal Board Act

On The Definition of Excessive
When asking whether something is excessive, or in excess, there is simply no absolutely correct way to approach the answer. A completely textualist interpretation would say that committing Contempt of Court one time is excessive, since it is never (or at least, nearly never) "right" or "desirable" to commit this crime. Going with this interpretation, nearly every lawyer in Redmont could be disbarred.

On the other hand, even with a textualist approach, it could require tens of charges to be considered "extravagant" or "exceeding what is proportionate."

The definition is quite broad, and requires an alternative method of Judicial Interpretation.

On Royalsnakee's Contempt of Court
If I understand this lawsuit correctly, royalsnakee has "faced contempt of court charges on four occasions." Your honor, I received 2 contempt charges in just 2 months (June-July 2023) followed by multiple contempt charges given to the Commonwealth when I was Attorney General.

Whilst I won't speak on whether royalsnakee or myself is eligible for disbarment, I ask you to consider royalsnakee's year-long history and compare it with my own.

On Equal Treatment Under The Law
If royalsnakee is found to be eligible for disbarment, the precedent set would require the RBA to thoroughly investigate many other lawyers with similar histories (because the Constitution guarantess and requires equal application of law), and possibly even disbar them. Some of these lawyers could be very prominent lawyers such as myself or Attorney General Snowy_Heart, who recently racked up multiple Contempt of Court charges.

On The Other Reasons For This Lawsuit
This lawsuit does not allege perjury - and certainly not excessive perjury.
This lawsuit alleges a single frivolous case, which may or may not be considered "excessive."
This lawsuit does not allege breach of Attorney-Client privilege.

In Summary
The primary issue in this lawsuit is whether royalsnakee "excessively committed Contempt of Court." The definition of excessive is quite broad, and is ultimately going to be a decision that this court must decide. The precedent of this case will have far-reaching effects, so it is important that any lawyer be watching this case closely.

Thank you, your honor.
 
Questions for royalsnakee:

1. Is it accurate that you've received a contempt of court charge in each case where you've served as legal counsel?

We will have follow up questions
 
IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
MOTION TO STRIKE

The defense moves that the question made by the prosecution be struck from the record, and in support thereof, respectfully alleges:

1) The question was posted after the alloted time had expired, and therefore the prosecution has spoken out of turn

Your Honor, Please accept our apologies for the delay; we were lost in reviewing the amicus brief.

Your honor, I respectfully request to change "the question" to "the response to the previous motion to strike." This was my error completely.

Your Honor, we were merely reacting to the motion to strike. Last time I checked, we're not obligated to be instructed to respond before doing so. Hence, in line with this assertion, we're simply addressing the motion.
 
Your honor, may I say something that might clear confusion?
 
Before I answer any of this, this is a Court Room. Not a channel in Discord. This is not the place to be holding what looks to be a basic conversation. There are no rebuttals to a rebuttal unless instructed or Objecting to said rebuttal.

Now, the Amicus Brief did not play a part in the questioning at this current stage of the trial. However given the severity of the case and what is being alleged from the Plaintiff I will allow this question to slide (Motion to Strike is Rejected). I will not be doing this again. Do be prompt.

@royalsnakee you have 48 hours to answer the question or you will be held in contempt.

The Plaintiff also shall have 48 hours to provide additional questions after every one of royalsnakee's responses along with royalsnakee having the same 48.
 
Hi I will answer the questions :)

No I have not received a contempt of court charge in every single court case and if you haven't noticed I have never lost a court case, because I know my ways around the law but I am a new attorney and I am just learning and new to the legal field trying to catch a break and trying to learn the ways to be better and better and I have been mentored by some very good and talented people like the Attorney General Snowy__Heart who are amazing lawyers and I am trying to become the Future Attorney General, So I'm asking you as a New Player and a New Lawyer to cut me a break.
 
Follow-up:

1. Could you kindly provide a comprehensive list of all the cases where you have served as legal counsel?
2. Have you ever won a case?
3. When did you join DC?
4. At what point did you acquire your license to practice law?

MOTION TO RECONSIDER

The defense moves that the ruling made by you, your honor, be reverted, and in support thereof, respectfully alleges:

1) It is important to uphold the law, despite the circumstances. It is unacceptable to pardon the prosecution from this burden, as all citizens must be punished if blatantly breaking a law or request made by a court. Otherwise, why would judges issue 48 hour deadlines if attorneys are aware that they don't have to follow them? The punishment in this case is that the questions and responses be struck from the record, as laws must be enforced if they are laws.
2) Under the "MOTION TO STRIKE" section of the Motions Guide, it clearly states, "This motion is usually requested when the record contains information or language that is not admissible evidence." Due to the submission being submitted past the deadline and therefore inadmissible, like any other aspect of court, it should be struck from the record

The Plaintiff has 24 hours to file a response.
 
Your Honor,
The RBA's primary objective is to safeguard the integrity of lawyers and individuals within the legal profession. We recognize the defendant's desire to strike the original questions. However, it's important to acknowledge that you, as the judicial officer, have already rendered a decision with clear deliberation. A motion to reconsider should be entertained only if new information or questions have come to light. In this instance, you have already ruled to allow the question to be asked and answered. You explicitly stated that you wouldn't entertain it again, so we acted promptly in accordance with your directive. While we regret the timing of the questions being submitted, we refrain from offering excuses as we have already moved forward from this matter.

Thank you.

@royalsnakee you have 48 hours to answer the questions. This is the last reminder ping I will be giving. You are not dismissed until I state as such. Do provide answers within 48 hours or you will be held in contempt.

This Motion to Reconsider is rejected as I would have awarded the same to either side. This also goes without saying, I awarded extra time for yourself. Rather than moving forward after a 48 hour period I instead notified you regarding the need to state you have additional questions or you have none. This already is giving you ample time which I am giving the Plaintiff less of if anything. I also still affirm my original ruling.
 
1. Could you kindly provide a comprehensive list of all the cases where you have served as legal counsel?
to be completely honest I don't have access to every single exact case and that would take a long time
2. Have you ever won a case?
I've never lost a court case.
3. When did you join DC?
I think about a year ago
4. At what point did you acquire your license to practice law?
I got my lawyers license the first day I joined the server by doing it for hours and hours until I maxed out and got the rank
 
Follow-up Questions:

1. Could you please search your name in the search bar to provide a list?
2. Apologies for any confusion, but the question was: have you ever won a case?
3. Regarding player status, do you consider someone who has played for one year to still be a new player?
4. Similarly, do you consider a lawyer with only one year of experience to be a new lawyer?

OBJECTION

Asked and answered, your honor. When the witness was asked, "Have you ever won a case?" he responded with, "I've never lost a court case." Any citizen would realize that if you've never lost a court case, you must've won all of them (keeping in mind that the witness is a lawyer who has worked on cases).
 
Your Honor, we respectfully request that the witness provide a clear answer to the question with a simple "yes" or "no." It appears that he is attempting to evade a direct response by circumventing the question.

1. Could you please search your name in the search bar to provide a list?
No,
2. Apologies for any confusion, but the question was: have you ever won a case?
Absolutely
3. Regarding player status, do you consider someone who has played for one year to still be a new player?
When it comes to the legal system on this server absolutely.
4. Similarly, do you consider a lawyer with only one year of experience to be a new lawyer? This servers legal system is very difficult all due respect. And no one is there to teach you about the law so you just have to put your foot forward and give it a shot. I’ve had training with some of the servers greatest legal legends about the legal system, like Gargatheoro, Attorney General, Snowy__Heart and the prosecutor / lawyer of the year.

MOTION TO COMPEL​

Your Honor, May I request that the witness be prompted to provide a list of the cases in which they acted as legal counsel? This information is vital for our case, as it will help us ascertain any instances where the witness may have failed to adequately represent their client or faced charges of contempt.
 
1) I would like to let me attorney answer this question

Your Honor, royalsnakee has yet to secure a victory or achieve a favorable outcome for himself or his clients. This statement is perjury, and we respectfully request that appropriate charges be brought against him. This can be seen in all the cases he has represented.

RESPONSE TO OBJECTION

A, "Favorable Outcome," is an opinion and one may count a victory differently than another person. One could say, "He's lost all of his cases because the verdicts never rule in favor of him," while another could say, "He's won all of his cases because they've all been attended to by a judge." "Won," or a, "Favorable Outcome," is subjective. My client can't be charged for perjury based on an opinion.

I'd like to apologize with how long this has taken to be answered. It was difficult coming to a ruling on the Objection for Perjury.

Now, I will be granting the Objection. Reasoning is fairly simple, when someone asks if you have ever won a case you simply are going to look at did the Judge rule in favor of you in the final verdict or if your the Defense, did the Judge grant your Motion to Dismiss. The argument of if a victory is having your case being attended by a Judge could be a victory however, put this simply, we all knew what the RBA meant in the sense of victory.

The Plaintiff has 48 hours to ask any final questions or declare they have none.
 
Given there are no additional questions we are moving into Closing Statements.

Leading, your honor. "A leading question is a question that suggests the particular answer or contains the information the examiner is looking to have confirmed" (The objections guide). The questions suggests that if a player is temporarily deported, they can still access the forums, therefore it is a leading question.

It's case by case. It's rare for a player to be banned from forums. However, the most common occurrence of a forum ban is for an alt account or a permanent ban.
