	Having a case heard is risky, but potentially greatly rewarding. The Court takes great liberty with their rulings, often handing down ironic or heavy-handed punishments even for minor infractions. In one example, an underpaid employee may find their employer declared as their property for a turn, no matter the size of the underpayment. In another example, a vandal may find themselves be sentenced to "replace" the property they vandalized (which may involve transformation magic or playing the role of furniture for some time), or be defaced in a similar manner themselves.
