At over 6000 words, the inaugural chapter takes a seriously deep dive into the history and inner workings of this sinister outfit. When we say this is [I]the [/I]treatise on the SJS, we really mean it. The chapter begins by taking a look at the branch's history, from their beginnings all the way through to major events beyond The Day the Law Died, such as MacGruder's time in the unit, and their actions after the Day of Chaos. Because of the nature of the SJS and their often brutal examinations of the Judges that they watch over, the chapter and book also carry a warning over the impact that such sinister themes can have on the players. This goes hand-in-hand with the next part of this chapter: the role that the SJS play within the Justice Department. The SJS are tasked with policing the Judges, and if you think Street Judges are harsh in their handling of perps and dispensing of justice, the SJS dial this up to 11 as a simple expedient of their role in investigating their physically and mentally hardened associates. Watching over their own hasn't been their only remit over the years, however, which is where this section also takes a look at the other functions the unit have carried out throughout the timeline.

With Chapter 1: The Rise of the SJS at a close, join us next week as we take a look at some of the careers available during Judge Cal's reign. [/QUOTE]
