If you look back at September Arbitor posts in the archives, you'll
see posts with subject CFJ XXX assigned to YYY - those are logs at
time of assignment (usually that's how cases are assigned, in your
case I was a bit lax in the interest of speed).
You'll also see a couple labeled CFJ XXX judged YYY by ZZZ. Those
are final case logs, where I've pasted in the judgement and arguments
after they've been delivered. That final posting has no legal effect,
it just gathers the case together for posterity once you've
officially judged it.
When you deliver arguments, just reply in the public forum to the
assignment email and write out your arguments, and assuming somewhere
in the arguments (usually at the end, for suspense), you state clearly
some variation of "I judge XXX" or "this Court finds the statement to
be YYY", that officially renders the judgement, and then I'll extract
that for pasting up the final case log.
