This has to be the single strangest junk e-mail I've ever gotten.

Of the matter of snow here. Both of us have grasped
The mortal architect had brought to life,
My keyhole blows a gale
XV. The International Circumpolar Stations: The Greely Expedition
And beyond, the same sound of bees
A rabbit carcass in its stiffened fur.
And he is swathed in ever-petrified dread;

It's almost poetic.

In related news, I'm finally done catching up with all of my e-mails and voice mails. I never thought it'd take so long to get through two months of backlog, but I guess you don't realize how much stuff you get until it all piles up. At least I don't have to worry about it anymore...

Hm. Maybe you're right...

Laws are hard enough to enforce when you have a mechanism for doing it. If you're just relying on good will, it's doomed from the start.

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever got any...

Really? Was there something important in there as well?

[attorneyatlol]

...You don't have much faith in people, do you?

[attorneyatlol]

Really? Maybe it's because my e-mail address is public... hm.

Yeah, something very important. It seems like I missed a few things while I was gone...

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

I'm a detective.

[attorneyatlol]

And I'm a lawyer.

He will not be irrationally prejudiced against defense lawyers until Ep 10. >_>

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

What field?

Oh dear XD

[attorneyatlol]

Defense.

"Phoenix Wright" is not a Japanese name, okay?

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Oh, does your country have an adversarial system?

And Phoenix Wright is not very up to date on his legal terms.

[attorneyatlol]

A what...?

Togusa will not be hiring him anytime soon.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Defense, representing the accused, and prosecution, representing the state, both present arguments to a neutral judge or jury.

sob he's a good lawyer okay ;;

[attorneyatlol]

Oh, right. That's how ours is. I never knew there was a term for it...

Uh-huh.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

It's the norm for systems based on English common law.

[attorneyatlol]

I'll admit I'm not too familiar with the history. The... adversarial system is all I've ever known, though I do know we used to have some kind of jurist system a long time ago. But that was before they changed everything.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

"They changed everything?" Are you Japanese?

[attorneyatlol]

Er, no... Why?

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Because our judicial system got entirely restructured under the occupation government after World War II.

[attorneyatlol]

Really? Ours was restructured as part of an effort to make trials shorter.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

That's never really been a problem for us. How did it work out?

[attorneyatlol]

I'm not sure, but my guess is not good enough. They restructured it further by mandating that trials can't last any longer than three days.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

That's very short.

I don't think that would be constitutional here. I'm almost certain it would be ruled a violation of Article 37.

[attorneyatlol]

Yeah... Our judicial system isn't in the best shape it could be. A friend and I are trying to get some changes made, but it's a slow process.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Ours isn't the greatest, either. There's a lot of corruption, in the police and the courts.

[nick-4-maya.livejournal.com]

That might be it! If everyone can see it then maybe the people who send those strange emails can as well.

Oh! Um, well, it isn't your fault if you missed things, Mr. Nick, so you shouldn't feel too bad.
