Trial Request

I am hereby presiding.

My potential conflict of interest

Per CMA§III.B, Court Structure, part (iii) subpart (B), I am declaring a potential conflict of interest, in that I was previously appointed City Solicitor by Godomasta during his first term as Mayor, and have voted for Godomasta in both elections.

If either the plaintiff or the defense believe this compromises my impartiality, please petition the other two judges per the constitutional clause above for them to make a ruling on whether I can preside on this case.

For the record, I believe I can be fully impartial in this trial, or I would not have started this thread. However, the law is clear that I must declare all potential conflicts, and so I have.
