It can be on any aspect of law so I decided to do it on the NRL Judiciary. I think I'll argue that the Judiciary is poorly structured or biased or something. Anyway, I'd appreciate it if you'd do this survey on the effectiveness of the Judiciary. I need to get at least 20 people to do it. Its mainly yes/no questions and should only take 1 or 2 mins.
