When poeple post logs from the trials how are we to treat that? Is that to be an official record from a clerk? Or is that just OOC in case you missed it? And further, how is that done? Is that part of NWN normally, or a program that logs all speech?

It is an official record produced and certified by a clerk who works for the Office of the Herald and is stationed in the Watch House. It is entirely IC.

There's a voice command Councilor PCs can use to activate the scribing process, which (unfortunately) like all voice commands is down. Chat logging is the best thing to do for for now.
