Judiciary Committee

The Judiciary Committee is the body responsible for considering fine appeals and requests for house charge release, work release, and food release. It consists of the nine Suite Managers and two Vice Presidents, and is chaired by the President.

Process

A member seeking to appeal a fine or request release from house charges, work, or food charges must email the President. The President then schedules a Judiciary Committee meeting where the member is expected to give a statement (if circumstances prevent an in-person statement, a written statement may be considered instead). The Judiciary Committee may ask questions and discuss the case privately before voting.

If the request was a fine appeal, the Judiciary Committee's vote determines whether the fine is removed. If the request was for house charge release, work release, or food charge release, the Judiciary Committee's decision becomes a recommendation that must be voted on by the house at the next regular house meeting.
