**THE UNIVERSAL TRIUMVIRATE LEGAL CERTIFICATION POLICY**
 **4.25.11 | 1.15.14**
Zerouh, Major Executive, Founder, Founding Executive
Chief Attorney and Minor Executive Arnold Ogamon

**A Law** to provide all individuals an internationally recognized certification service recognizing their expertise in law.

The Triumvirate shall be able to grant the international title of certification of “Triumvirate Legal Certified” which shall represent that such a person is to be an internationally recognized scholar of both Triumvirate law and general law. Such a certification may be granted to anyone including those outside of the Triumvirate and may never be denied to any individual unless two-thirds of the Executive Branch were to be against it and could provide a logical reason without bias for doing so. Possessing such a certificate shall not declare one as a member of the Triumvirate or in Triumvirate jurisdiction while such a title is held unless they otherwise wish it so or are already a member. However, they shall have to comply with solely this law while they hold the certification and they will still be under Triumvirate law while in Triumvirate jurisdiction.

This certificate shall be granted once an individual has completed a series of legal tests (the process of taking which shall require a payment of ten tri per time taken, payable to the Office of the Head of Education) of which their content is to be decided solely by the Triumvirate Executive Branch and may be changed by the Executive Branch when they deem necessary. The tests shall be administered by whomever the Executive Branch appoints, primarily the Head of Education or affiliated positions. No person may receive the test from themselves. An 85% average shall be required between as many tests required at the time. Certifications may only be revoked if two-thirds of the Executives were for it and could present a logical reason for doing so without bias.

Recertification must take place every year in order to ensure active participation and knowledge of the legal system and how it is to apply. To recertify it shall be required that the tests be taken again in their most current state and by the same method. If recertification does not occur within one year the certification and recognition shall be void. Recertification and original certification shall each grant one year of continued recognition until which recertification shall be required once more.

The testing or recertification testing cannot be done unreasonably or in a less than legitimate fashion and may not be biased to prevent one individual or group from achieving such. The testing and recertification process must be done within seven days and the individual seeking certification may not extend it farther than that or surpass that limit. If the individual seeking certification or recertification does extend past seven days they will have to restart the process. If an individual fails the testing or recertification (by failing to achieve 85% on average between the tests) they shall not be able to retake the test or gain recertification until three weeks have passed.

No individual, even those not within the Triumvirate but under partial jurisdiction only because of the holding or claiming of this certification, may pretend to hold certification while it is void or not currently possessed. Doing so in a clear manner of fabricating such shall be considered a Class II Misdemeanor.

Privileges of those with current certification shall consist of primarily full access the legal documents, lists of legal resources, and legal consult the Triumvirate has to offer providing they do not contain or lead to entanglement in confidential or otherwise threatening information. Other privileges shall include international recognition as applied and respect through the law.

All attorneys for the Triumvirate government must be under this certification and remain under it for the time they are in such position. Justices and judges within the Triumvirate and the Chief Attorney must have certification at the time they enter office and are elected but if they lose such certification they cannot be removed from office just due to that. They may be impeached due to no longer possessing certification but the impeachment process is still necessary. Other Executive positions besides the Chief Attorney do not have to take this test to qualify for an Executive position unless the Executive Branch wishes to distribute it to them solely for application purposes and use the text of the test rather than the property of it. Thus, this shall not grant certification and shall not require recertification as they do not possess certification. However, an Executive may take the test on their own under all applicable laws.

Any person who has adequately demonstrated they understand the first section of the test pertaining to United States Constitutional Law may be exempted from taking that section of the test again for recertification at the discretion of the Executive Branch or Head of Education.

The Triumvirate Government assures full recognition of such a certificate. Other forces, groups, or individuals outside the Triumvirate may also recognize Triumvirate Legal Certification for their own practices or purposes without them creating a legal entanglement with the Triumvirate or without falling subject to the Triumvirate within their domain. The certification shall ensure the knowledge of law not solely within the Triumvirate but in international dealings and common law so that international factions shall have purpose for the recognition of such title. The Executive Branch shall have the ultimate decision of the certifications application within the Triumvirate as it sees fit according to this law and those superior and equal to it. The Executive Branch shall also decide how the Triumvirate wishes to negotiate the certification agreement out with allies as they see fit.
