Added Color Coded For Your Convenience, Courtroom Antic, Crosses The Line Twice and The Power Of Rock. Whee!

[Aldaris]

We should consider adding LCS as an example to the pages of all the relevant tropes.

[Neonivek]

Ohh here are some more

-Super Lawyer: For a large sum of cash you can hire an Ace Attorney. He will inherantly be greater then any super lawyer you could possible create.
-Hollywood Law: Do well enough in court and you can be aquitted for all crimes up to and including multiple accounts of mass homicide, treason, and theft. On the other hand, do badly enough and even minor crimes can see you to the gallows.
-Cardboard Prison: It is not only easy to break people out of prison, but excapees are instantly pardoned for all crimes.

I am trying to find one that involves the Seduction but I cannot find it.

[E. Albright]

Neonivek, you want me to polish and add those, or will you be doing so yourself?

(Not that they need much polishing, mind you.)

You can do it if that is alright. (Also I am glad "Suicide by police" was made sensible)

I don't have a TV Tropes account anyhow.

-Cardboard Prison: It is not only easy to break people out of prison, but excapees are instantly pardoned for all crimes.

No they aren't.  Get caught again and not even an ace attorney can save you.

No problem!

Do "Prisoners" go back?

[E. Albright]

Cardboard Prison is "partially averted", in that it's (relatively) easy to break them out again and again, but they'll be wanted for doing so.

H'm. There appears to be no trope for "Super Lawyer", even though other pages reference it as well, and it probably should exist. If I were more ambitious (and I will not let myself be), I'd try to add it myself, but as it is I'll just leave the link to the blank page in hopes some bolder soul will do so.

[Aldaris]

Is there a shout-out example yet? The game has quite a lot of those, starting with ace attorney, some of the news reports, and go on from there.

[E. Albright]

ATM no.

Don't forget the DF brownies one.

I don't think that's actually an aversion, even a partial one. I shall modify the text to reflect this. Or stop reflecting it, rather.

[E. Albright]

I will concede that is a reasonable interpretation. But. There is a basis for me claiming a partial aversion. To wit, from the trope page:

They also have policies against re-arresting escaped Villains Out Shopping unless they commit another crime during the same episode.

If we take the trope to represent futility of incarceration, and include refusal to seek out non-recidivist escapees, it's a partial aversion. If we take this as a non-fundamental characteristic, and only judge its application on the prison's ability to initially hold prisoners, it is played straight.

[mainiac]

It's a strange half partial aversion.  You can hang around the police department, chatting with the officers and they won't care that you are a most wanted terrorist.  But if you start selling tie die shirts, they'll send the death squads after ya as soon as they get wind.

Disproportionate Retribution

[mainiac]

Not even the death squads kill you for selling t-shirts.  Selling t-shirts is just what let you get caught.  It's your previous deeds they kill you for.
