... this exchange sounds like something that deserves pictures. Considering there's only really two sides left, and both of them would have been able to see it, maybe someone can give pictures?

Yes. Can be good for comedy. Also a buncha' other stuff! Including romance.

I'unno FD, Raising certainly fits the gundam thing better. Nanoha's totally an inspiration and whatnot, too. Just. Sometimes through violence. The heart makes no mention as to if they're being raised up from their troubles or in preparation for a suplex.

... what did any of that have to do with whether it changed folks' lives? Though... not really just if you're a robot. The definition of court that's been being used has been squiggly as all hell quite often in the last few pages.

I actually vaguely remember that thing getting pretty intense at points. It was airing in the states for good long while, years back.

They are doing that. Sexual assault being against the code of conduct is irrelevant to this when the school takes upon itself to enact what can only be described as prosecution completely outside the public court system. A private body has no right, none whatsoever to independently take all the steps of arbitration that it can without themselves being arrested when what they're arbitrating on is also pubic law.

Except they kinda' do? A company will face little censor for firing, docking pay, etc., an employee who has violated public law (unless there's explicit laws against that, and, again, at-will is a thing.). Shit ain't exactly cheers and giggles if you steal from the company (or anyone else), and they're probably going to do significantly more to you than the courts will alone, depending on exactly what powers they have over you. They might not be able to explicitly fine you within the confines of the company's influence, but you prooobably signed away a whole hell of a lot when you signed those employment papers. Same concept, yeah. Far as I'm aware the actual law isn't really going to blink even if it happens when you're only suspected, either.

Like... if you want that sort of thing changed, cool. Pretty sure it's not particularly the state of things, though. And even then, you're probably dealing with a different framework with schools in particular just due to what they're doing and the nature of education certification and whatnot. Lot of the stuff that actually protects employees (or your average customers) doesn't protect students, last I checked. Which you could call bullshit on, but it's something fairly substantially different from what you an'strife's been talking about.

And I shall remind you that contract law is also subject to public arbitration when in contention, so they aren't even doing that right.

... are the students actually requesting legal arbitration? Are the contracts themselves actually in contention? It's not an automatic thing, mate, and it can't be invoked under all circumstances.

... well yeah. This is why you pay attention to what contracts you sign.
