Section 11

Any Arbiter with substantial prior involvement with a matter that goes to trial must recuse themselves from said trial. If necessary, an Arbiter may be forcefully recused with the support of all other non-recused Arbiters. Recused Arbiters may not perform Arbiter duties for any matter directly related to said trial.

Section 12

The Conclave is empowered to compel an action, reversal, or suspension of action by Order with an indictable penalty for if the Order is not met. Orders can be limited in any way by statutory law.
