IMPORTANT NOTICE: Even if the Constitution does not grant powers to the Council Speaker to call the election for the European Court of Justice, it says the members of the Court shall be elected at the same time as the Premier and Internal Affairs Commissioner (Article IV, Section III, Article I). Once again, I am just trying to help out during the Forum admins inactivity period by calling these elections. If any admin requested to take over the election procedures, I will be willing to hand them over immediately.

Candidate Name: Mae Lynwood
Home Nation: The State of Elthize
Incumbent: No

Biography

Mae Lynwood has been a prominent figure in the Elthic judiciary, as well as in Elthize in general, for over a decade. She has left a lasting impact on Elthic politics and the country as a whole, becoming one of the most recognizable faces in the Elthic judiciary. Before her role as a justice in the High Court of Elthize, Lynwood served in both the now-defunct Supreme Court of Elthize and the Constitutional Court of Elthize. Before that, however, she was known as a humble lawyer, fighting against corporate malpractice, where her 2007 case against Eee, a budget airline in Elthize, caught significant attention.
