I AM THE LAW
But if you want some court rp, go for it. The problem is, I'd expect the judge would have to be someone who is capable of impartiality in those cases, but for most of the ones that you're describing I think that would be hard to find. Not to mention the problem Nents snarked about, in that most people here don't know US law (which you know is what we would pull from, in the absence of rp'd laws...oh who am I kidding, no one reads or knows about those anyway), as is evident from #politics, much less about how to argue it or other things; that would cause some strife, I'm sure.
I'm much more partial to people just coming to me for ideas about how a legal case would play out, get an approval, and write a news post or something about it, such as how your cases of libel fail because political hyperbole is mostly protected, for better or for worse, until the law is changed.
The main thing I wouldn't mind seeing RP'd would be Supreme Court cases, but for that I'd have to figure out who's on the court, and I wouldn't want to force some people to be on it. I don't know, that's a separate thing...
