Justicar Report #2: 2023 Term Applications
Table of Contents
It's time for the annual report from the Justicar wherein there's not a whole lot to say, actually. It's been a quiet term in regards to full process action. That's not to say we haven't been busy. We've just—thankfully—not needed to drop the hammer much. This is good.
That said, we will be moving on to the only part with any actual merit. The new term application!
Hiring For 2023 Term
As I have found myself with the same two names for my Hands at the end of this term (despite all efforts for the contrary at the beginning), I will copy and paste myself from last year: I would like to start off by thanking both Alethia Archenksova and Kamjin "Maverick" Lap'lamiz for their work this term.
It has been no small measure of comfort having Hands that I was extremely familiar with and could trust with any task thrown their way. I knew the way they operate and that they would challenge me when needed. They have been recognized already for their efforts, and I'm glad to see them recognized further with time. Hate to see them go, but I'm loving watching them leave.
Much like last year, it has been extremely quiet for the Appeals panelists. Still, they held my confidence that should they be called upon, these three would provide a measured and proper response that would keep myself in check as well as uphold the rights of the membership. Thanks to Occultan Iacul, Malfrost Xeon, and Caden "Denath" Itharus.
In a fit of continued unoriginality, I shall be lifting the outline from my predecessors for the opening of these applications.
The current term for the Chamber of Justice ends on February 26.
I have five staff positions that need filling: two Hands and three Appeals Panel members. As usual, I'll be accepting applications only via a finely aged survey. I am accepting applications for a little over three weeks, from now until Monday, Feb. 20. Feel free to apply for all five jobs or for none: the choice is yours! You can find the position descriptions on the CoJ Wiki page. I also encourage you to take Basic Covenant Studies if you haven't already.
There are no rank or experience requirements. I will try to select members from a broad range of clans to fill these slots, but, especially for the Hands, my decision will be based on who I think is the best person for each job.
One note I will make is that, aside from the RHoJ serving as prosecutor and LHoJ as defense counsel during trial, the day-to-day administrative work of the jobs differs in one key way: the Right Hand is primarily responsible for processing potential clone notices, including contacting relevant members and keeping our tracking database updated. It’s usually not a heavy lift, but it’s very important and time sensitive.
If you’re at all interested in serving in the Chamber and can commit to holding one of the positions for the next year, please apply!

Chamber of Justice jobs are an almost unique combination of being very important to the health of our club but also not being a huge burden day-to-day. There will be long periods where you do not have much to do (especially as an Appeals Panelist), but when there is someone for you to do, it has a real impact on keeping the Brotherhood a safe and fair place.
I'm very thankful to Atra (and Jac and Bubba) for giving me the chance to work with the CoJ and strongly encourage everyone to give it a shot.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as both LHoJ and RHoJ and working with a team on individuals that are focused on not only fair play but putting our members first. We've accomplished a lot, while thankfully accomplishing very little in terms of enforcing justice because we've all gotten along. I'm proud that we've removed gender references from the Covenant in addition to strives to improve and protect our membership.
I strongly encourage those interested to apply. It is a deeply rewarding and member-centric role within the DJB.
Also, I'd like to recommend Jinkam Zimal'pal for the position. I've included his headshot below for reference.
Apply for the things!! Good luck everyone!
