The Wizengamot has two jobs. To create and stop laws and to precede in court cases. This can only be done by people that are Wizengamot members.
Politics
Person proposes a law or asks a law to be removed. People hear them out and make counter arguments. Then a vote is called.
There are four ways to get your law voted in.
-luck: Majority loves your law and vote for it.
-Alliance: You have an alliance with a lot of people or people with a lot of votes and they decide to support you for various reasons.
-Control: You have Controlling rights on enough SHP Characters to get your law voted on.
Court
To have court cases the following steps have to be taken.
Commit crime and get caught.
Auror who catches criminal and post information on the Trial list in the Auror Office board.
I then will PM all members of Wizengamot and criminal the time and date. People that are online get to 'attend trial' and vote. This will last for a few hours before votes are recorded.
If you don't get to vote for laws or trials during this time because you missed the window tough luck.
How to Vote
First of all only Wizengamot members can vote and there are no OCs in the Wizengamot. Wizengamot members will write their characters name and what they voted. If the have multiple characters then do the following:(Also you don't have to have all your characters vote one way)

Elphais Doge: Yes
Nicolas Flamel: No
Get it?
Broken Laws
Be aware of the laws the Wizengamot activates. You can have your character arrested for breaking the laws. Be aware that a law may be vetoed one week and reactivated another.
All laws end up in a prison sentence. Some will last a few days others indefinitely. During this time the character becomes inactive. There is only three ways for your character to get out. 1) Sentence is served and they are released. 2) Prison Break- this can only be done by Voldemort and you have to join the DE if you accept it. 3) Favor- Someone on the Wizengamot pulled strings to get you out. This makes your character a servant for them. You can go play like you want but when that Wizengamot character gives you an order you have to follow it. Now they only get three orders after that your character is free.
Example: Clara was in prison for theft and dutifully spent her three days in jail.
Example: John murdered his wife and was sentenced to three months real time. Voldemort has returned and has broken into prison. He gives John three options: Join him, die, or serve his sentence. Sometimes John will not get the last option.
Example: Susan slave traded children and was sentenced to life. Hera Zabini offers her freedom and Susan takes it. Susan then owes Hera three favors that she can use at any time. Hera can order her to do anything but join the Death Eaters or the Order of the Pheonix. Now the controller can say something like "Have Susan have some conversation with Harry Potter that uses the word corset" They could also tell Susan to murder an OC and Susan would have to. Susan could also be caught again and be sent back to prison, but not necessarily. Some crimes may go unsolved.
Favors
Favors can only be gotten three ways. Remember only Wizengamot members can do this. Dumbledore and the Minister characters can not get Favors.
1) You go to Dumbledore and vote on something he wants you to vote on and you can get someone out of jail.
2) The Minister can do the same.
3) You can bring the issue to the Wizengamot and it can be voted on. This all counts on majority vote.
Warning
I will check all of these. Do not try to put fake names down, vote multiple times, or put someone else's character down. I will give you three warnings before you lose all of your MHP and SHP characters.
