This has to be the single strangest junk e-mail I've ever gotten.

Of the matter of snow here. Both of us have grasped
The mortal architect had brought to life,
My keyhole blows a gale
XV. The International Circumpolar Stations: The Greely Expedition
And beyond, the same sound of bees
A rabbit carcass in its stiffened fur.
And he is swathed in ever-petrified dread;

It's almost poetic.

In related news, I'm finally done catching up with all of my e-mails and voice mails. I never thought it'd take so long to get through two months of backlog, but I guess you don't realize how much stuff you get until it all piles up. At least I don't have to worry about it anymore...

Sort of. They're computer programs capable of independent logical thought.

[attorneyatlol]

Huh. What are their roles in the process?

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

They assist with procedural decisions during a trial. Sustaining or overruling objections, that kind of thing. The final decision is with the judge, but they usually follow whatever the majority from the AI panel is.

[attorneyatlol]

How well does that usually work out? I mean, would you say it's a fair process?

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

It seems that way to me. I've never been on the witness stand, though.

[attorneyatlol]

I see. Sorry for all the questions, by the way. I'm trying to collect information about different judicial systems from whatever sources I can.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

It's not a problem.

Would you like a reference text on the subject?

[attorneyatlol]

Sure, that'd be great.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Can I send a file over this thing? I've never tried anything like that before.

[attorneyatlol]

Uh... I have no idea. I've never tried, either.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Well, can't hurt to try.

Probably.

OOC: I dunno, will this work? Togusa's trying to send a small test file. It's the first several paragraphs of an essay by a man called Patrick Sylvestre, entitled "Castro and Guevara."

[attorneyatlol]

Did you send it yet?

((OOC: ...I have absolutely no idea. XD; He could always put it on a FTP server and give Phoenix a link? 8D? If not, I'm sure we can just say the community allowed some kind of file transfer. I left his response vague in case you wanted to go a different route.))

underlines are hyperlinks! B|b

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

That didn't work.

Try clicking here for a test file.

If that works and your computer can read it, this is the textbook.

((OOC: gdit what good are you :P Okay, fine, *handwaves it* XD

It's an undergraduate textbook on the Japanese legal system. Togusa stripped it down to plain text, so Feenie's computer should be able to open it.))

[attorneyatlol]

Ah, I got it now. Thanks, I'll be sure to give it a read.

((OOC: Gotcha! By the way, I was just reading up on Togusa's canon, and it sounds really interesting. o.O))

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

No problem.

((OOC: I think so, but I'm biased. Also, I have a "my god this plot is complicated" tag on his journal for a reason. >_>))
