| Message | I am pretty sure that rich CEO's will hire their own lawyers. This law exists primarily for middle class people, who do not have LOW incomes, but nonetheless, might have difficulty hiring a lawyer. |

In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
