Lawyer Extraordinaire, Mary Pason is representing Ned Collie at his trial. There is no question that Ned is guilty of the crimes he is accused of committing. Judge Raelee is presiding over the trial. After uncovering the fact that Ms. Bowder is a Marleybonian infiltrator and putting Judge Judi and Claudia Bee on the stand, Mary needs proof of the lawlessness of the judges. She sends you to the Hall of Judgment to photomance any lawlessness.

Wallaru Hall of Judgement
Judges Eddie and Louie

The Judges of Wallaru are the law. Here are their rules:
We don’t take off our helmets.
We enforce the law equally.
We follow orders.
We seize the dream.

Judge Eddie: “I sure do love not wearing a helmet.”
Judge Louie: “I know! Free and clear of helmets here!”
Judge Eddie: “Hey, it’s someone seeing use without our helmets! That’s against the law!”

Judge Eddie isn’t too worried about your Wizard seeing him and Judge Louie without their helmets. He doesn’t think anyone will believe you. He forgot about photomancy.

Judge is a title held by several significant characters in the Judge Dredd series. The role of Street Judges combines those of judge and police officer, thus avoiding long legal wrangles by allowing for criminals to be tried and sentenced on the spot.

Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) and some fellow Judges

The Judges themselves are not above the law — a violation that would earn a citizen a few months in an Iso-Cube would get a Judge a twenty-year sentence, to be served at hard labor on Saturn’s moon, Titan.

Officer Eddie

Eddie is one of the two police officers who aid Chief Wiggum on almost every mission. Unlike Lou, he is rather unintelligent, but is still smarter than Wiggum is. Eddie is quite silent, even though he is always there at every case with Lou and Chief Wiggum.

Lou is a sergeant with the Springfield Police Department and by far, the most intelligent officer of the Springfield Police. He is under the command of Police Chief Clancy Wiggum, and often takes the time to point out Wiggum’s mistakes (often while a crime or the pursuit of a criminal—is still in progress, therefore distracting them all from the crime). Lou is also the most competent police officer, unlike Eddie or Wiggum. Lou speaks more than his counterpart Eddie.

Sergeant Lou

The Hall of Judgement is inspired by the Halls of Justice from the movie Mad Max.
