Noticulator Entry
Notes from the constant running log of the Circumgyratory Spooling Noticulator-MK2 in attractive black. The quality of the penmanship, and thus the pen used in question, are both high. All running log entries in the noticulator start with a date and then entered one per ruled line by number and time.
You don't want to end up in Court.
The outcome of standing before a Judge, or in this case a sitting Regent, is unlikely to get you as good of a deal as the same issue going to arbitration. Yes, you may win big if your arguments are particularly sound and the Judge comes around to your way of seeing the issue, but you're more likely to be already working on your Appeal because whatever the Judge decides is going to be unpleasant. Except, in Amber, there's no Appellate Court. If you take your issue to arbitration chances are that the hammered out agreement between all parties is going to be much kinder and settled without much fuss. As your attorney, I advise you to take the arbitration and this bottle of gin and these little brown pills, mate.
My speciality is Constitutional Law which largely involves, as a working lawyer, sending off an awful lot of very Sternly Worded Letters to Government Officials but the occasional case of ending up at the King's Bench and walking about making things up while wearing a funny wig. Law's not about truth or goodness or order; Law is about making the best damned argument and I've quibbled in Court over the order of prepositions of one section of one bit of law before.
Law is sort of this nebulous body in Amber and occasionally entirely driven by eel pies.
As for the City, as I sit here and contemplate a muffin and coffee, I have to move forward under the ruling. I have five or six items to follow through, most of which I will push off on Valentine to deal with. I'll enumerate them, get them hammered out, and move on with the next thing. So it goes.
