Bill Maze/3.0

Bill Maze is a character role-played by LordJasta.
== General Description ==
Bill Maze was formerly a Judge for the Department of Justice. He earned his Bar License in April 2022, and was elected as a Judge on January 17th, 2023. 
==Employment==
In the beginning months of 2021, Bill made a donation to the Unified Police Department benevolent fund, during this meeting he asked Domenic Toretti for a job and was assigned as Janitor at the Mission Row Police Department. After working for several months, he finally became an Administrative Assistant for the Los Santos Police Dispatch. 
While working as an Admin Assistant, Bill secured trust with in the PD by becoming the only civilian to have the job of sorting through police equipment and moving it to evidence lockers for recycling. This was an honor for Bill, as he had been given the job by Sam Baas. 
One night while working, Bill was attacked by a Dispatch FTO, Doen Tukla, and some Trainees. Doen told Bill that he did not have a future in Dispatch. Bill ended up in ICU for a period of two weeks, but never fully regained his work ethic at MRPD, as he was scared to death of being attacked again by Doen again, so he went on the lamb living in the woods. 
During his time in the woods, Bill would get food by breaking into Beaver Bush and stealing lunches left in the fridge by Park Rangers. He also ate raccoons (but not the brains) during this time, leading his friends and acquaintances joking that he contracted Rabies.
==Mayoral Election==
Bill Maze ran for Mayor of Los Santos in the December 2021 Election, following former-mayor Abdul AlRahim's sudden Impeachment halfway through his Second Term. He received a total of 22 Votes (2.3%), losing to Emma Gaine with 291 Votes (30.41%). Bill didn't expect to win, however, but more-so wanted to run to ensure that the current people on the ballot would not win by default, and instead would have to earn their place. 
==Returning to Law==
In April of 2022, Bill was approached by old friend and current Judge, Reggie Might, about becoming a lawyer again. Bill was hesitant at first, but through persistence and badgering, he was finally convinced. 
About 3 days later, Bill got a call from Reggie, telling him to come to City Hall, as he had to give Bill his Bar Card back. Bill went, and was given restrictions for his work as a Lawyer, until he could prove himself. These restrictions included things such as: not being able to post to the docket, only being able to do cell reps and bench trials without another Attorney present, and not being able to start a Law Firm.
==Relationships==
Maze's previous jobs in PD as a civilian have served him well, with almost instant respect by Officers being given to him, with Maze giving the respect back. Crocodile Steve showed this new trust and respect with Maze by handing over his personal notebook and evidence seeking guidance on how to approach a case on the docket. 
Maze has continued to attempt to turn a new leaf with in the Justice system by representing Officers who ask for help. Though Maze won't charge him they have kept him in the green. Maze was hired by Deputy Riggs to sue the Tuner Shop and Eddie Marshall in a Class-Action Lawsuit, but this fell through when Officers asked Maze not to post it on the docket. Maze has also represented Undersheriff Rhodes in a Civil Case launched against him by Deputy Copperton. Copperton made allegations claiming that Rhodes suspended and arrested him without cause, and was seeking $200,000 in damages. 
Maze has tried to limit his representation with criminals, but due to his restrictions on his practice, he has found this hard to do. He ended up becoming the accidental Attorney for the Gulag Gang after representing Selena Martinez on Drug Trafficking charges. At the time, Martinez followed Maze's directions and was able to walk out of MRPD with charges pending due to the raid on her property. Maze has been able to convince Martinez to stay quiet and as crime free as possible, and to date the Officer has not put her charges on the docket.
