I submit the following proposal entitled "Appellation":

{{
  Replace the text of Rule 42 with:
  {{
    Appeals are a special class of CFI that may only be heard by members of the Upper House. 

    At any time within seven ndays following the posting of a Judgement on a CFI, any player may Appeal that Judgement creating an Appeal. 
    
    An Appeal's serial number is the serial number of the appealed CFI suffixed with "A1". If an appeal is itself appealed, the new Appeal's serial number is the previous Appeal's serial number with the integer value of the suffix incremented by one.

    An Appeal is Judged by an Appeals Court comprised of the members of the Upper House excluding the initial CFI judge. When a CFI is first appealed, a single member of the Upper House is selected by the Oracle to constitute the Appeals Court. If that Appeal is itself Appealed, a panel of no fewer than two-fifths of the Upper House shall be selected by the Oracle to constitute the Appeals Court. If the judgment of that appeal is itself appealed the entire Upper House excluding the original CFI judge shall constitute the Appeals Court.

    Within seven ndays of eir constitution, an Appeals Court shall give one of the following responses to the Appeal:
    1.) AFFIRMS  - The appeals court affirms the decision made in the prior Judgement.
    2.) VACATES  - The appeals court reverses the decision made in the prior Judgement.
    3.) MODIFIES - The appeals court modifies the decision made in the prior Judgement, and includes a new Judgement.
    4.) REMAND   - The appeals court returns the CFI to the prior Judge for review.

    
    Regardless of any rule to the contrary, a Judgement by the entire Upper House may not be appealed.
