It's the Law

Plot Synopsis

46 must deal with a pair of dueling lawyers who will decide his ultimate fate.

Plot Summary

46 swears just one too many times and suddenly a Lawyer from the Intergalactic Decency Service arrives to reprimand him. As things get difficult, however, a Lawyer who appears identical to the first appears to defend 46 as he is a member of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Robots, or PETR. This results in the two lawyers fighting with each other and the crew's speculation on why exactly anyone would clone lawyers. After much debate on what to do with the angry and violent lawyers they find that the two have worked out their differences and decided to charge 46 the sum of $4.25. The Captain promptly orders them off the ship.
