Practice Directions

Preparing a matter for the courts of Mayflower, from your first submission to the conclusion of a case.

Read the applicable Court Rules alongside these directions.

This page explains the current filing process. It does not replace the Court Rules or an order made in your case.

01

Filing & clerk review

Sign in with Roblox before filing. Your verified account and Mayflower group ranks determine which matters you may submit. If your membership changes, re-sync your ranks on your Account page.

District Court

Civil claim

Litigants and attorneys: identify the parties, explain the claim and state the relief sought.

District Court

Criminal information

Department of Justice prosecutors: list the charges in your own words, with particulars and the case statement.

District Court

Expungement

Attorney-filed applications for eligible citizens; the record count determines Category A or B.

Supreme Court

Appeal

Litigants and attorneys: identify the District Court case or decision being appealed and set out the grounds.

  1. 1
    Prepare

    Complete the appropriate template and attach your evidence. Save a draft if you are not ready to submit.

  2. 2
    Submit

    Submission sends the matter to the Clerk and issues an intake reference (INT-YYYY-####). Check your filings on Account for the receipt.

  3. 3
    Clerk review

    The Clerk reviews the submission, may return it for corrections, accept it or dismiss it. Submissions shows public-facing intake cards, not your evidence or full statement.

  4. 4
    Docket assignment

    Acceptance issues a case number. The Clerk then assigns the case to a judge's docket; an intake reference is not a case number.

The Chief Justice also has access to every filing type; substantive requirements still apply.

02

Parties & evidence

Use each party's Roblox username, not their display name. Include Discord usernames where requested and check the spelling before submission.

  • For ordinary filings, provide labelled evidence links from Imgur, Lightshot or Gyazo.
  • One image under 5 MB may be attached privately as a fallback. Avoid uploading sensitive screenshots unnecessarily.
  • Write a clear statement of the facts. Ordinary statement fields require at least 40 characters; expungement has additional requirements below.
  • Public Submissions and Dockets do not expose filing evidence, full statements or internal court notes. An externally hosted evidence link has its own access settings.
03

Expungement

An attorney must file the application for an eligible Mayflower citizen. District Court applications cover non-conviction records, including arrests and charges, and spent custody entries.

CATEGORY A · 30 OR FEWER RECORDS

Attorney sign-off

Requires Bar Certified Attorney sign-off. A hearing may be ordered at the judge's discretion.

CATEGORY B · MORE THAN 30 RECORDS

Hearing required

The application must proceed to a hearing because of the number of records.

  • Confirm at least 15 days of good behaviour and identify the records sought to be expunged.
  • Provide screenshots of the relevant Roblox records and a reasoned statement of at least eight sentences.
  • Court convictions must be addressed through the Supreme Court, not this District Court application.
  • A claim of false arrest belongs in a civil suit, not an expungement request.
04

Appeals & representation

The Supreme Court hears appeals from the District Court, including interlocutory appeals against a decision made before final judgment. Give the original case reference, the decision challenged, the grounds of appeal and the order you seek.

Appeals are argued by members of the Supreme Court Bar. An attorney who is not a member, or a litigant appearing in person, may request a writ of certiorari; the Clerk determines whether it is required.

In criminal proceedings, the Court checks whether counsel is needed and arranges appointed counsel where applicable. Waiving counsel or representing yourself is subject to the Court's rules and permission.

05

Warrant applications

Eligible law enforcement officers use the Warrant desk, separate from ordinary filings. Access requires the current code, which rotates every 14 days; an authorised desk session lasts 12 hours.

  • Select arrest or search, identify the target usernames and suspected offences, and provide a probable-cause statement of at least 40 characters. Search requests also require a location.
  • You may attach up to four images, each no larger than 8 MB. Submission sends a Discord notification, including attached images; the probable-cause statement is not included in that notification.
  • A reviewing judicial officer grants or refuses the application with a written reason. Warrant records are not placed on the public docket.
  • File a return recording whether the warrant was executed, with a narrative and any supporting evidence.
06

Chambers & case records

District Court judges have personal offices in Chambers. Once a case is assigned to their docket, its case chat provides a place for the parties, counsel and court staff to communicate.

Signed-in users may read an open case chat, but an invitation or court authority is required to post. Judges may make a room private, invite Roblox users, mute or remove members, and lock the room. Private rooms are restricted to authorised participants and court officers.

Invitations and judicial updates appear in your in-app notifications. Parties can find their invited rooms on Account. Use the case reference when communicating with the Court.

At conclusion, court managers can download a Markdown transcript. Messages can be deleted only once the case is closed or dismissed; deletion locks the chat and does not automatically remove stored attachments. Any AI summary is a working aid, not a judgment or a substitute for the transcript.

Dockets holds active cases and recent closures or dismissals. After 14 days, closed or dismissed cases move to the searchable Judgments archive.

07

Judicial complaints

Submit a complaint to the Clerk of the Supreme Court using the judge's Roblox username, a factual statement and all supporting evidence. Evidence omitted from the original complaint cannot be used against the judge in that proceeding.

The Supreme Court considers grounds under Rules 23–28. If proceedings commence, the judge has five days to respond. The Court decides whether a closed hearing is needed and issues an order and written opinion.
