Death rays?! *shudders*
In order to protect the proletariat from the oppression of the aristocracy, we the people have formed this union of workers. We promote the common man in his struggles in the City of New Babbage.
Cthange you can believe in!
((As noted in the Steelhead discussion)) I suspect Dr. Obolensky found his law degree in the same box of Cracker Jack where he got his medical license.
((But I want to be Alan Shore.))
((Oh dear. That was careless!))
((I was quite unsure of the date, and more or less picked '79 out of a hat. But I'm inclined to go along with Dr. O that it ought to be 18--, like in a novel of the period!))

Capt. Llewellyn, I may want you to testify at the trial in this case. Perhaps you could come by my office for an interview, if you wouldn't mind wearing the outfit you describe. *clears throat*
((I once had a case in which my client -- a start raving lunatic -- was suing his daughter's parochial school, which had banned him from the premises after he'd gotten into a fight with a nun. I was petrified that I'd have to cross-examine (sic!) ...
((I wonder if it was one of the opinions by Justice Eakin of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, the most famous of which, in a case about whether a horse is a "vehicle" for purposes of the state DUI law, began with a quotation of the Mr. Ed theme son...
Good day, Babbagers. At the request of my client, I've dropped in to introduce myself and say a few brief words about the case.
My client, Miss Burton, suffered grievous injury and extreme emotional distress as a result of Dr. Obolensky's "Realit...
Miss Myrtle, as the descendant of 5 generations of bakers, I extend my deepest sympathy for the damage to your bakery. I should be pleased to speak with you about your participation as a witness in this case.
((I assign the Mayo v. Satan case to my law students when I teach jurisdiction. They love it, and it generates surprisingly interesting discussions.))

- What has brought you to New Babbage and SL Steampunk?
- I was introduced to New Babbage by my client, Miss Eugenia Burton. I am a resident of Steelhead.
- Could you provide a bit of background about yourself?
- Born in Strakonice, South Bohemia (fez-making capital of the world), 1828. Studied law at the Charles University in Prague. Left university to fight in the failed Revolution of 1848 against the Hapsburg Empire. Fled post-revolutionary Austria-Hungary and came to America with Lajos Kossuth. Fought with the Union army in the U.S. Civil War, taking to drink after witnessing the unspeakable carnage. After the war, went west to organize railway and timber workers in California for the newly-formed Knights of Labor. Fled California, one step ahead of Mr. Jay Gould and his Pinkerton agents, finding refuge in the quiet hamlet of Steelhead, where he maintains a small law practice and slakes his unquenchable thirst for rye whisky at the charming local saloon.
