SR - SCA Laws

[maddie teller-kook]

Hmmmm.. a curia?   To be honest, I think it is way too much of a bureacracy.  Even
though the laws here may not be as organized, it still works. One thing I do like
about the 'King is Law'.   When there is a crown that is a problem, you only have to
deal with them for 6 months. But,  a bad curia can last a long time. AND,  I think
the curia can slow down the process. I do hope that any laws for the principality
will mirror the kingdom. I think the prince/princess should make the laws and have
them go thru the appropriate channel (be it seneschal, marshall, treasurer, etc).

just my 2 cents,
