Lawyer

As a Lawyer, your primary job is to consult players seeking legal advice, represent players in court, and marry couples.

The legal profession has three exams which must be taken in chronological order: Legal A > Legal B > Legal C.

Legal A awards the solicitor title.
Legal B awards the barrister title.
Legal C awards the attorney title.

Activities

Lawyers in Redmont have several important roles:

Legal Advisors: Players seek legal advice from lawyers, requiring you to provide guidance on legal matters.
Court Representatives: You represent players in court cases, either as a defense attorney or a prosecutor.
Marriage Services: Lawyers have the authority to marry two players, provided both parties consent. You can also handle divorce proceedings.

Legal advice

Lawyers are authorized to provide legal advice to citizens, as well as charge for their advice. This is usually done through a law firm. You can apply to work for a law firm in the #employment channel in the Discord, or start your own law firm with an Entrepreneur License.

Representation in court

Lawyers can be hired to represent individuals in court. While all citizens have the right to defend themselves, it's advantageous to hire a lawyer to skillfully represent oneself in court, utilizing their knowledge of the law to win the best outcome for their client. Again, this can be done independently, or as part of a law firm.

Marrying

In order to marry two players, they both need to consent. Abuse of this permission to marry players will be monitored by staff. You may charge for your services in both marriage and divorce.

Lawyer exams

To become a lawyer, you must pass three exams at the university: Legal A, Legal B, and Legal C.

These exams test your analytical skills, fact-finding abilities, and knowledge of legal terms. Outside research into legal matters and court proceedings on DemocracyCraft is necessary.
