My home --> Your duties and responsibilities
There you will see:

Vous êtes membre du conseil du Stafford
Resign from the council (irreversible act)

Don't click it unless you want to resign, they mean it.

Duchy --> Law Courts --> Your Office
There are three options here:

Arrest a suspect

Send a mail

Start a lawsuit

"Arrest a suspect" and "Send a mail" aren't put into the game yet, don't waste your time looking at them.

The only relavent control is start a lawsuit.

When you click lawsuit, the screen is self-explanatory.
Input the defendant's name.
Choose the offense from the pulldown menu
there are six options which do not correspond exactly to the names of Laws
Write down your bill of indictment
This is one of your two indictments, do not waste it.

public disorder
witchcraft (which you never will use, probably)
slavery
fraud
traitorousness
betrayal

here's the way I breakdown the crimes:
Witchery --> witchcraft
Confidence Racket/Swindling
Profiteering
Slavery --> slavery
Treason --> traitorousness
Robbery --> public disorder
Perjury
Contempt of Court
Obstruction of Justice

So, betrayal and fraud don't exactly translate. I think that if I had one of those other crimes I would clump confidence racket/swindling and profiteering under betrayal, and put perjury and contempt of court and obstruction of justice under fraud. The label on the case doesn't matter too much.

Public Prosecutor

In the PP thread in the Inn, check reports and decide if it is something worthy of bringing before the judge or not.

Contact witnesses, defendants, and/or victims to get all necessary information prior to bringing the case before the judge. It is ok to try to settle cases out of court if all parties agree.
