Judicial Standard
The Moral Code
Before a motion is brought before the court, the Plaintiff must identify the primary charge at issue. Each filing should be anchored to a single statute so the Bench can evaluate the motion under a clear standard.
Purpose of This Page
This code serves as the official classification framework for filings submitted through the Clerk. Plaintiffs should select the charge that most closely matches the conduct being challenged in their motion.
The Four Pillars of Review
Transparency
Hidden motives, omitted context, and strategic storytelling reduce the credibility of a filing.
Proportionality
The reaction must reasonably match the offense. Excessive retaliation can become its own violation.
Consent
No party should be bound to an expectation, obligation, or emotional contract they never agreed to.
Consistency
The same standard should apply to both sides. Selective accountability weakens the motion.
Charge Categories
SOC Social and interpersonal conflict
DIG Digital behavior and online misconduct
COM Trust, communication, and shared obligations
ETH Conduct, boundaries, and ethical behavior
