Adds the Justice Department

[leonardo-dabepis]

About the PR

Adds the Justice Department, a department enveloping the lawyer and 3 new roles that manage the court system and charges against the accused. Includes:
• New department, Justice!
• 3 new roles:
◦ Chief Justice: The main, impartial judge for the station responsible for adjudicating criminal and civil trials, as well as other small matters like paroles and pardons.
◦ Clerk: The court clerk, who organizes trials, notarizes court documents (warrants, sentences, etc), and ensures correct sentencing and due process for the accused in sec custody.
◦ Prosecutor: A special lawyer role that legally advises sec and handles all of its court prep and prosecution, freeing up sec's time to go stun baton the clown instead of waiting for trial.
• Antag objective to steal the Clerk's notary stamp, an object imbued with the authority to officialize court decisions.
• Made the Lawyer role easier to understand and added them to the department. Renamed to Attorney, they now exclusively defend the accused or can sue on their behalf. Can also curse at the prosecutor in the bar.
• Changed SoP to match. Notable changes include
◦ Felony charges and above must be reviewed and approved by the Clerk or Chief Justice if those roles are active.
◦ Parole, criminal trials, and civil trials are now all adjudicated by the Chief Justice, or the clerk in their absence.
◦ To ensure fair judgement, a Captain can only remove the Chief Justice with a majority vote from command.
◦ Warrants and court decisions must be written down and stamped with the notary stamp. Warrants must be approved by the Chief Justice.
◦ Full list of SoP changes can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12ZKTtzvVWBuC7PuiREL9v7mhVZve11p0-T6MBPpVeGs/edit?usp=sharing
• Classy wooden desk timer to help keep trials timely and within limits.

SoP/Guidlines

• Civil and criminal law-penalties
• Legal mutiny?
• Assigning judges when no judge is present
• Judge is representative of CC. Not necessarily above captain but outside.
• When to appeal to a jury? How to pick a jury? (random would be good)
• Rules for gaining warrants
• Procedure for arresting officer filing criminal charges
• Rules for summoning witnesses
• Guide/book

Other

• Station Beacons

Notes:

• We might want to consider bringing back brig access for cells to give legal dept sec access and not control over prisoners.
• Mapping would need to provide offices for CJ, CC, and Prosecuter.
• Chief Justice is a rep of CC not necessarily above captain but outside

Why / Balance

The current legal system in-game is built around LRP gameplay, with security handling everything relating to arrests, sentencing, trials, and execution. Additionally, it is near-impossible to find an impartial judge for any court case with the current system. New legal department would guarantee an impartial and available judge (whether it be the Chief Justice or Clerk) for any court case, take pressure off of security to handle things like sentencing and trials. Additionally, there will be more roleplay opportunities for things like civil cases, inter-department disputes, internal affairs, or whatever else you may need legal help with.

Ok I believe I fixed those. Still can't get the test environment to open on my end, but I'm not getting errors from those rsi files anymore.

Errors in the console?

It won't save my comment but the other test error is about Lawyer.png, I think the file name needs to be capitalised? Hope this helps a little

[Adrian16199]

At first look, every single file looks fine, however I think lack of files could be the issue due to a new radio channel being mentioned in the headset for lawyers, I would put them for now in # as a note, on another though, if it were to be a full department then it probably should have a camera system on it aswell which would require you to add in:

devicenet_frequency.yml for cameras

encryption_keys.yml to even register a possibility of a key to have the radio channel

(Not sure if there is more but those 2 seem very important from what im seein, one regardin the radio channel and the other with cameras if there are any plans on that aswell, could be a separate PR just so this isnt 10k code)
I would work slowly so first I would make the thing with lawyer channel not exist by being a note so there is less worries.

I do not have the spoons to really dive into this at the moment, but I'm getting a slew of fatal errors (such as this one) when I try to run the server on my end. I am thinking it might be because my branch is out of date with master, but I'm not experienced enough to be certain and I don't want to accidentally break anything while trying to fix it.

Try running the RUN_THIS.py using cmd or powershell and then restarting visual studio.

Is it wrong of me to seek technical help on Github? Because I find I get more help here than on Discord. Especially since the question was directly related to Git.

No I'm talking about changing pull request status. Pull requests are here for this sorta stuff, but marking something as ready for review and back to draft every time you want to update stuff just sends me notifications

[github-actions]

This pull request has conflicts, please resolve those before we can evaluate the pull request.

[Timemaster99]

Oh and there's a merge conflict that needs to be resolved

Resolved now. I appreciate you taking the time to check 200 files of changes 👍
