I think the Judical Branch is actually an area of Atlasia that needs a facelift; I'd like to see the courts play  a big role, rather than just settling disputes about petty electoral laws. If we have a reboot, and follow the US then there's going to be a lot that could be changed

I don't have anything especially radical in mind-I considered setting up regional courts lead by one justice, along with a standard Supreme Court of 3 justices but I'd be unsure if we'd have the numbers/energy to sustain this over a long period of time.

Likewise I'd be open to a rotating court that allows every President to appoint a Justice-it's just a question of whether we can get enough interest?

My only concern would be that we're weakening the power of the Presidency even further; would the Chief Justice have any specific powers that would mean the President's pick is of more important?

Would the chief justice just have the same role as IRL? They'd basically just decide what cases to take
