The Law panel is the court side of the CAD. Judges and court staff use it to decide cases, set bond, approve warrants, manage licences, adjust jail sentences and handle unpaid fines. Everything is laid out as cards on one page. You can close any card and add it back later. The top bar lets you run checks, search records and create warrants, law records or law reports. The Law panel with the Pending Hearings, Warrants, Licences, Bonds, Jail and Unpaid Fines cards, and the Judicial Name button in the top right *** ## 🧭 Quick Navigation Review hearings, convict or acquit and set bond. Approve, deny, update and cancel warrants. Suspend, reinstate or revoke licences and manage points. Revoke bonds, change sentences and manage unpaid fines. *** ## Access You need the law panel permission and to be in at least one CAD department. You don't need to be on shift. | Permission | Allows | | - | - | | law panel | Open the panel and decide cases, bonds, sentences and fines | | law panel create | Create law records, law reports and warrants | | law panel edit | Edit law records, law reports and warrants | | law panel delete | Delete law records and reports, and deny warrants | | law panel supervisor | Fill in supervisor-only fields and a warrant's Status field, and see who wrote a record | Ranks and permissions are set in [Members](/CAD/Admin/members). *** ## Judicial Name Your Judicial Name is your roleplay name as a judge. You need one before you can use most of the panel. Click the red button on the right of the top bar, enter a name (6 to 256 characters) and click **Set name**. Empty supervisor fields, like signatures, are filled in with it automatically. Your Judicial Name is saved in this browser only, so set it again on a new device. *** ## Court Cases Hearings are opened when charges are filed, when a civilian contests a ticket or when a licence hits its maximum points. You decide them from the **Pending Hearings** card. See [Court Cases](/CAD/User/court-cases) for how to review, convict, acquit and set bond. *** ## Licences The **Licences** card lists suspended, revoked and max-points licences, and opens the licence editor. See [Licences](/CAD/User/law/licences). ### Suspend a Licence Open the licence from the **Licences** card, tick **Suspend Licence**, set the length in RP days and a reason, then click **Save**. See [Suspend a Licence](/CAD/User/law/licences#suspend-a-licence) for the full steps. *** ## Related Settings CAD admins control how the court works in [Law settings](/CAD/Admin/law). | Setting | Description | | - | - | | RP Day Time Scale | How many RP days pass in one real day.
