Introduction

Judicial officers (Guards, Guard Captains and Judges) are responsible for 
impartially and professionally enforcing Mileth Law. They investigate 
alleged crimes and determine guilt of aislings accused of violating the law. 
If an aisling has been deemed guilty then an officer must then enact, order 
and/or request punishment as per the Criminal Code, this Act and any other 
relevant law.

I. Basic Law Enforcement

The sequence of events in a judicial case are as follows:

1. Establish Jurisdiction
2. Check the Statute of Limitations
3. Collect Evidence
4. Determine Guilt
5a. Dismiss the Case (if guilt is not established)

---YES: Mileth has jurisidction.
----NO: Continue to question 3.

3. Did the alleged criminal activity occur in the territory of Rucesion, 
Hwarone, Suomi, the Arena, Mileth College or a Religious Temple?

---YES: Mileth does not have jurisdiction.
----NO: Continue to question 4.

4. Is the victim or perpetrator of the alleged criminal activity a citizen of Mileth?

5. Has Rucesion, Noes or Suomi already prosecuted the case?
