It is rather unfair to lump the "FISC" system in with all the courts, because it is more of a board, panel, committee, in camera hearing, or administrative proceeding. "FISC" lacks the essential qualities of a court, as the defendant has no right to appear, they are not represented by counsel, charges are not presented, evidence is not disclosed, and there is no right to trial by a jury of the accused's peers.[1]
