There’s an idea for a story I have, where a nation holds sacred the act of bringing an argument to court, and while it sets standards for how court proceedings play out, it is NOT always necessarily applied by the government in an approved “court house”. The people are all taught the core principles of a trial, of allowing both sides their arguments, of having a neutral judge, etc.
The story would then lead to cases where, for instance, a neighborhood watch has captured a killer, but doesn’t trust the local police to arrest him, worrying they may be in league; so they conduct a trial themselves.
I keep toying with the idea of writing. I have always been bad or English written or spoken. Maybe someday I’ll write something even if nothing comes of it.
