4	Tomb-Colonies Honey Importation v Hell

Barrister	First Paragraph
0 - 4	As a new practitioner, you have been relegated to one of the colder and less interesting chambers of the Magistracy. The courtroom is empty except for the officers of the court.
5 - 9	The courtroom is empty except for a few family members of those involved.
10 - 24	Word about your legal style has spread, and the trial has attracted a few onlookers, along with those involved in the trial.
25 - 49	The courtroom is full of off-duty officers, junior lawyers, and even a few farmers and monster-hunters on their day off, eager to see the action.
50 - 74	These days, the courtroom is always full during one of your trials. The spectators are talking and jostling well before the judge arrives, and someone is selling packets of mint humbugs.
75 - 99	Your courtroom is fuller than ever. Mushroom-farmers are doing a good business in snacks, and there's a growing commercial concern of urchins arriving early, taking a seat, and then selling their place on to better-heeled spectators.
100 - 149	The courtroom is full of onlookers: the Magistracy sells tickets to attend your trials, since there is no way to seat every curious would-be viewer.
150 - 199	The courtroom is full, and several reporters sit in the front row, sketching and recording the proceedings.
200 - 249	You now command the largest courtroom in the building, and an auditor's gallery above allows people to look on in greater numbers.
250 - 299	The courtroom is full, and several reporters sit in the front row, sketching and recording the proceedings. Doubt Street has spared you several of its finest.
300 - 399	You now command the largest courtroom in the building, and an auditor's gallery above allows people to look on in greater numbers. Spectators come from London merely to observe your methods.
400 - 499	You now command the largest courtroom in the building, and an auditor's gallery above allows people to look on in greater numbers. Spectators come from London and even from farther afield: is that Khanate armour you see in the auditor's gallery?
500 - 599	You now command the largest courtroom in the building […]. Spectators come from London merely to observe your methods, and today a law professsor from Benthic has brought his students to watch you work.
600 - 699	Today the auditor's gallery is especially learned: a law professsor from Benthic has brought his students [...]. Now and again a sentence drifts down from above – about how the law is a kind of machine, and you, one of its most inventive engineers.
700 - 749	There are hooded figures in the auditor's gallery. They murmur to one another, and you cannot see their faces.
750 - 776	There are hooded figures in the auditor's gallery. They murmur to one another, and you cannot see their faces. Masters? Students playing a joke?
777 - 999	There are hooded figures in the auditor's gallery. There is a silent hush of expectation. Do not look their direction; it is better to keep your mind on the court.
1000 - ???	The auditor's gallery listens avidly to everything you say: so many listeners, so silent. When you speak, your words are consumed immediately. Never mind. You have learned to project your voice.

Progress	Second Paragraph
0	You have limited time to look over your papers before proceedings begin.
1	If there are any motions that can usefully be made to change the shape of this case, now is the moment to bring them.
2	As the defending counsel, you must, of course, sit through the prosecution's opening arguments, together with their presentation of evidence.
3	The case has now been laid out, and it is up to you to offer a closing argument.
4	Each side has presented its case. It is time see where the balance of the decision will come to rest.
