-The Lawyer is tasked with the thankless job of providing legal aid to the crew.

 *'''Create law-binding contracts.''' As a Lawyer the easiest and most efficient way to get something done is to [[Paper_Markdown|create contracts]], despite popular belief.

 As a traitor, you have closer ties to security than anyone else. Officers may go into the break room alone, and make themselves vulnerable to attack; reducing the number of officers may help even when they aren't your target. Your briefcase can fit the contents of a toolbox in it, but is considerably less suspicious than carrying a toolbox around. It is not difficult to stuff it with handcuffs and flashbangs if you can acquire them from Security storage. You can also hear security radio, which gives you a lot of intel.
 ===Overthrowing Rulers for Fun and Profit===
 As a Revolutionary, you have access to sec, with the possibility of dragging away revolutionaries. Very quickly though you'll end up being implanted if you're not fast.
 You can also use a screwdriver, and give your headset encryption to Rev Heads, helping them listen to security radio, which gives a lot of intel during a revolution.

−	If there is a [[devil]] on the station buying souls, your legal abilities will become paramount for saving the foolish crewmembers who sold their soul. Inside of your office is a filing cabinet filled with employment contracts. Should you find someone who has sold their soul, simply repeatedly bash them over their head with their employment contract. You may also want to make copies of some employment contracts. A copy has the full force of the original contract.
