Court procedure

| March 12, June 12, 1969. Moerman collected data at the court on issues of interest such as 1) An official who received complaints would receive the complaints and collect fees for the operation of the court. 2) Upon receiving a complaint, the court would send the case to the defendant for acknowledgement. 3) Prior to the hearing, the judge would then arrange for the attorneys of the plaintiff and defendant to discuss the arguments during the trial. They would also discuss which party should present the evidence, this was called "Ka Praden,” which meant that which point would be at issue. Issues that did not appear in the indictment could not be added during the trial. 3) In the daily report is a note is made of all cases and a summary of all cases. | Punch card

Court procedure

| January 29, March 18, 1969. Moerman noted issues of interest about the court: 1) In the case that the accused was a minor (under age 17 years) and for the accused whose age was 18-19 years, punishment by the judge would not be serious. However in the case of an accused over the age of 20 years, the penalties would be considered equivalent to those of an adult. 2) Rules and procedures for the auction of property which was confiscated from the accused. 3) For filing an appeal it should take about 60 days, but often it took more than 6 months. 4) The chief judge would assign cases to judges on a daily basis, then the court clerk would sent the complaint to each judge. | Punch card

Khweng court procedure

| April 1, 3, March 17, 1969. Moerman took notes on the district court such as 1) If the defendant did not commit serious faults, most of them were willing to avow because the penalty was less severe. In addition, they did not want to lose a lot of time and money for the defense. 2) The Ministry of Justice handed over punishment imposition (Yi Tok) for those found guilty in a criminal case, in order to use as a benchmark to punish the accused in criminal cases 3) A man was sued by his company in a lawsuit alleging fraud. He chose to fight the lawsuit in court until recovering the costs. The company agreed to pay damages, so he stopped suing. 4) Documents relating to the trial need to be preserved, in order to be used as evidence to apply for a trial at the Appeal Court. They were also used in the consideration of a promotion for judges. 5) the authority of police to control the alleged offender at court. | Punch card

Court procedure

| February 24, 1969. Moerman took notes on the court. The cases which were still under consideration would be given a number in black (Black Case), while the cases whose the verdicts were pronounced would be noted in red (Red case). The black cases signified “dark, mysterious” because no one knew the end. On the contrary, the red represented the cases which had already been judged. In the past, prisoners had been tattooed in red, and red determined the fate of those convicted. | Punch card

Court procedure

| At the Bangkok Criminal Court in early May. Documents relating to criminal cases were stored in a wire mesh to prevent damage, theft or modification of the documents. In order to read the documents, the applicant would need to use long stick to turn pages and then copy the appropriate section.
