The Lawyer is tasked with the thankless job of providing legal aid to the crew. This tends to involve defending [[Traitor|traitors]] in trials, suing [[Security Officer|security]], the [[Backstory#Nanotrasen|company]], [[xenos|aliens]] or anyone else they can think of for endangering the crew. Other duties include hassling the [[Station Engineer|engineers]] and [[scientist]]s over health and safety violations, and general ambulance-chasing.

'''Remember you are not security''', you are allowed to be a part of their comms channel as well as have some department access. They are a right and your job is to help prisoners receive fair treatment, not to antagonize security for doing their job.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Talk to prisoners and try to get security to consider their rights when applicable.
