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. | The Lawyer is tasked with the thankless job of providing legal aid to the crew.

*'''Prove a Negative!''' Object if you are asked to present a defence before the prosecution presents a case or charges are stated. It is impossible to defend yourself when you don't even know what you are defending against. The prosecution should always speak before the defence. If you are asked to "prove" your client's innocence, point out that it is impossible to do so and that the onus is on the prosecution to demonstrate guilt. | *'''Prove a Negative!'''

*'''Double Jeopardy!''' If an absurdly guilty client is found “not-guilty,” it is not uncommon for security or prosecution members to be convinced that the trial was a “mistake” and attempt to detain your client for a new trial. The verdict is valid, defend it and get the Lawyer Gods involved if you have to. | *'''Double Jeopardy!'''
