Farrin joined the Chamber of Justice almost a year ago and quickly made himself an indispensable part of the team. As Right Hand of Justice, Farrin assists in the investigation of all complaints received by the Chamber; he is also responsible for inquiring into suspected clone accounts when they are flagged by the website, which is a fairly frequent occurrence.

His most important duty, however, is as my adviser. I rely on Farrin for a fair and equitable evaluation of all issues presented to the Chamber. When asked for his opinion, without exception, Farrin has presented what he believes is the correct -- that is, fair, reasonable, just -- analysis of the case before him. And when cases proceed to trial, he is able to put aside his personal views and make the arguments necessary to fully prosecute a case. I couldn't ask for more in a Right Hand.

During his tenure, the Chamber has published a single decision. That does not adequately reflect the volume or quality of the work that Farrin does in his role, most of which happens behind closed doors and will never be shared publicly. Among various investigations and questions of Covenant interpretation that Farrin has assisted with, he also advised on Letter of Reprimand removal applications and on a clan's request to ban a member from transferring in. I am pleased and honored to be able to recognize his hard work and dedication with this recommendation for an AK.

In the final months of his term as Headmaster, Farrin continued to be an excellent adviser and valuable member of the Dark Council, while fulfilling all of his duties as Headmaster. He oversaw a remodeling of the Shadow Academy on multiple fronts, from the launch of a new Wiki page, to structural changes to staff arrangements. He also took part in the more typical duties of the headmaster, such as overhauls of various courses, including working with two Justicars - Jac and Bubba - on new Law Department courses. He maintained an active staff, and he himself graded dozens of courses. But in that time, Farrin was also an extremely valuable adviser and an important member of the Dark Council. He was regularly among the first to offer suggestions or advice on discussions and his presence was missed when he left the Dark Council. In short, Farrin's last six months of service to the club were more than deserving of contributing to this Amethyst Kukri! Congratulations, Farrin!
