This should be in the Procedures, not the Lawbook. I also wonder who the "quondam" Praetor is, and why it doesn't say that the membership of the Landsraad elects the chairman of the same.

[Erik Mortis]

I'm gonna echo Mike's comments.

Till corrections are made:
Goldenbrook, NAY (10).

[Kaiser Mors VI]

As acting Praetor. This fails.
