Proposed Title: House of Solomon
Some thoughts on naming and defining the specifics of the program...I've been considering names for my proposed program of a religious/alternative court which has also brought up the issue of narrowing down and defining who is serviced by this court. The initial idea for the program came out of the removal of authority of Christian/ Jewish/ Muslim courts in Ontario which also lead to the idea of this becoming a "House of Solomon" who represents fair judgment, justice and wisdom in all three religions. This of course would define this court as belonging, somewhat exclusively, to these faiths.
This would make the program more cohesive given the similar, though unique, judicial systems. However, through the very specific connotations, it does exclude a significant part of the population. I still need a bit more research but I believe that the notions of "justice" held by Asians, Africans, Natives, etc. is quite different and perhaps not reconcilable with the type of court I am proposing. However, another group which could be serviced by an alternative rather than religious court is the non-religious population which do share similar notions of justice given the "official"/Canadian courts are based on them.
What makes this concept appealing in the first place is that "Solomon" becomes a common ground allowing these three groups to interact, support, and contribute to one another, the program and the market.

i'll be interested to hear the relation between the idea of the religious court(s) and the idea of having your own voice, which you suggest in the program story. i can imagine the two ideas being at odds.
