Alongside each Legal Attaché, every country also has a Political Observer, a political scientist rather than a legal advocate, who analyzes the trial's political dimensions, including public opinion, domestic political pressure, and the incentives shaping each government's position. Political Observers use social science methods and frameworks, most centrally Johns's work on compliance and enforcement, to assess why the parties are arguing what they are arguing and what the trial means politically for their country and for the broader community of states watching it. Your central task will be to survey your fellow Mirians about the case. Below you find the trial guides for all political observers (click on your role for a MS Word Trial guide download):
