Judiciary Professionals

 

Judiciary professionals traditionally study at universities, though many learn much or all of their profession as apprentices to a judge or lawyer.

Depending on local law, lawyers may need permits to practice their craft, while judges almost always do.

Judiciary professionals, like other scholary types, favour robes. However, they usually forego the headgear, and favour swords over maces, as most of them fancy themselves to be gentlemen.

In general, lawyers and judges are stereotyped as arrogant and mercenary. Both reputations are well-deserved, as they take great pride in their literacy and education, and one-upmanship between them become the main point of debate in many trials. As they have no fixed salaries, both lawyers and judges see great profit in frequent and long trials and have little motivation for a reconcilatory approach to legal questions.
