Purpose

No punishment is final without a lawful pathway.
Independence of Courts
Courts operate independently from staff and departments. Judges do not enforce rules, and staff do not render verdicts. This separation protects consistency and legitimacy.
Appeals
Appeals exist as a safeguard for both players and departments. Appeals allow review of legality, procedure, and authority without rewriting outcomes arbitrarily.
What Appeals Are Not
Appeals are not instant reversals, popularity contests, or negotiation tools. They are structured reviews conducted through lawful authority.
Final Judicial Statement
Keystone Region courts uphold canon, protect fairness, and ensure outcomes are lawful. Appeals exist to review decisions — not bypass them.
