Hon. Raymond Callahan
Judge of the Superior Court
The Judicial Branch
A courthouse that actually sits
Most roleplay servers end a scene at the arrest. Ours does not. Cases go to a real docket, a judge picks them up, and they are argued in real time.
How it runs
Raised in Discord, heard on the docket
The courthouse runs out of the Discord. Cases are raised through the ticket system, a judge takes them from the docket, and each one is heard through the avenue it arrived by. Every judge, prosecutor and defender is an AI character who stays in role for the whole proceeding.
Criminal Court
Filed when charges follow an arrest. If there are lawyers online they are pinged to the case, handed the file, and the matter is argued from there.
Traffic Court
Citations contested in front of a judge. Same process, same standard of argument — a ticket is not automatically upheld because an officer wrote it.
Civil Court
Disputes between citizens rather than charges brought by the state. Heard the same way, with counsel on both sides where counsel is available.
Warrant Requests
Raised from the field, in the middle of a scene, and granted or refused on what the officer can actually articulate. This is the one that changes how people play.
Warrant requests
Five things, or the judge says no
A warrant is asked for from the field, mid-scene, and granted on what you can actually articulate. This is what you will be asked for, every time.
- 01
Direct observation
What you personally saw. Not what you assume, and not what someone told you over the radio.
- 02
Probable cause evidence
The specific facts that add up to belief a crime occurred — each one stated, not gestured at.
- 03
Exigency
Why it cannot wait. If there is no urgency, the judge will say so.
- 04
Full narrative
The sequence, start to finish, in order. The affidavit stands or falls on whether it holds together.
- 05
Badge and oath
Who is swearing to it. You are signing your name to the account you just gave.
And then it is signed
A granted request comes back as a real order — affidavit, finding of probable cause, and an authorisation timed to the minute.
The code
Written against a real code
San Andreas law mirrors the Revised Code of Washington, section for section. A DUI is filed under RCSA 46.61.502 because that is the RCW section it mirrors — so charges, defences and sentencing all have something consistent behind them rather than being made up per case.

RCW 46.61.502You do not need to know how to be a lawyer
If you get pinged to a case and you have never argued one, a bot walks you through it — what to raise, what to ask, what to say next. Nobody is expected to arrive knowing court procedure.
Get pinged, get prompted
Lawyers online are pinged to the case and handed the file. The bot does the rest.
The bench
Who hears it
Three judges take cases off the docket. Each stays in role for the whole proceeding.

The bar
Who argues it
Prosecution and defence, both staffed. A charge is not a conviction here.

The bench and the bar are AI characters. That is what lets the courthouse sit at any hour, rather than only when someone volunteers to play a judge.
Play a side of it
Officer, attorney or defendant — the courthouse needs all three, and you do not need to know court procedure to start.
