You earned your living in the galleries and benches of city courtrooms — copying depositions, recording judgments, and redrafting contracts when no one else understood the language. Over time, you learned to recognize lies beneath polished words, to spot loopholes in legalese, and to wield bureaucracy like a dagger. You weren’t the one passing sentence… but you made sure the right words reached the people who did.
