The Lawyer is tasked with the thankless job of providing legal aid to the crew.  This tends to involve defending [[Space Law|ciminals]] in trials, dealing with suits about [[Security Officer|Security]] or the [[Backstory#Nanotrasen|company]] 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.
 
== Duties ==
 
* '''Consult on [[Space Law]].''' Be present when people are imprisoned, so you can give the correct time. You should keep Space Law up in your browser for this, and be sure to explain the sentence for each crime and the total time. In some cases you may argue for reduced sentence times based on mitigating factors (e.g. good behaviour, insanity), but don't push the issue too hard.
 
* '''Ascertain guilt or innocence.''' When a suspect is brought in, check the stories of officers. You may be able to convince them when they either have the wrong person or if they committed a lesser crime that thought. Use your forensics scanner on physical evidence brought against your client ("your client" being any suspect brought in).
 
* '''Get medical care for inmates.''' Arresting officers need to get back to their patrols; they'll appreciate it if you keep medbay informed of any injured prisoners. Organizing a brig medic may be useful.
 
* '''Clean up the brig.''' You're going to spend most of your time here, so keep it clean. The [[Warden]] needs the help. The brig is one of the messiest places on the station.
 
* '''Let released inmates out of the brig.''' When their time is up, bring them their belongings (sometimes they are kept in the evidence room), let them out of the brig, and set their security record to "Released".
 
* '''Participate in [[Legal SOP|trials]].''' An unfortunately small part of your job. You can sometimes get trials for inmates or when you can convince the Head of Security that it would be a good idea. Fortunate lawyers may get the chance to defend high profile persons, like wizards.
 
*  '''Litigation.''' Health, safety, and human rights violations abound on the station, but be warned that actually getting anything done about it will test your law skills.
 
== Tips ==
You begin the round in your office with with a blue or purple [[suit]], black [[shoes]], a [[backpack]] containing a [[Forensic Scanner]], a [[briefcase]], a [[PDA]] the standard [[Headset|Radio Headset]], a [[Box|Box]] and a [[pen]].
 
* A Security headset may be useful to help tell whether security is doing its job properly.
* Be useful, but don't be annoying. Getting in people's way will make it much less likely they'll help you, or even talk to you.
* Study [[Space Law]] and learn it by heart. It'll help for those cases of unclear brig times.
 
== Traitoring ==
If you can get access, try grabbing a full complement of combat gear. Your briefcase can fit the contents of a toolbox in it, but is considerably less suspicious than carrying a toolbox around.
 
==Legacy==
The Lawyer job has since been removed and lives on as an alternate title for the [[Internal Affairs|Internal Affairs Agent]]. His suit and its variants can be found in [[:Category:Locations|Internal Affairs]].
