No idea, but it might be important to add in which country the story takes place.

Fantasy setting, gonna be inspired by America because that's what I know. Main change is that lawyers are, by nature of the magic system, always wizards. The actual story takes place in magic school, and this isn't the main character so the trial isn't going to be given much attention.
@Shkshkshk @leave_it_blank
An important bit of context for "based on America" these days: is this America-alike being run by orange Voldemort already?
@pteryx @leave_it_blank
I don't think so. We're going to see *normal* malice from government employees. For example, the macguffin she stole was being displayed in a museum as bait for Baby Voldemort, who happens to be her best friend. Normally the dark lordling isn't a team player and would just charge in and grab it, so there was a security team to nab anyone who tried to steal it and then Get Rid Of Them. Obviously detaining people for pre-crime is not legal, so this was a secret operation.
