This tends to involve defending [[Traitor|Traitors]] in trials, suing [[Security Officer|Security]] or the [[Backstory#Nanotrasen|company]] or [[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. | The Lawyer is tasked with the thankless job of providing legal aid to the crew.
