Oh, marvelous. I'm generally a fan of AUs where we can see how relatively minor changes (i.e., Rodney's father leaving) could have much larger impacts later. The idea of Ronon and Cadman working together on cases cracked me up! And yes, I would not want to have to face *any* of them in court! Everyone seemed very IC, and their voices were spot-on. I particularly liked the nod to Rachel Luttrell's actual hair - nicely done!

All around, a nice blend of humor and angst and fun.

I was going to - manfully! - refrain from commenting, but apart from the need to say, AW, THANKS!, I really wanted to tell you how it made me smile that the very first feedback captured several elements envisioned while writing the story, v. notably Teyla's hair. ;)

What a great AU! I love how you've woven canon throughout & Ronon and Cadman are superb! cep xxx

ooh, this was nice. Poor John, but Rodney saved the day, yeay!

Rodney as a cut-throat lawyer makes frightening sense. I loved all the cameo appearances too. Comparing Cadman and John was a nice touch as well--I'd never really thought about the similarities of personality there before!
