Main entry

law (discipline; Liberal-republicanism)
lawyer / attorney (sense) -> so I learned recently that there is a distinction between "lawyer" and "attorney" because there are some people who are lawyers but do other jobs, such as solicitors that do office work. so an attorney is a specific thing. but a barrister is almost the same thing depending on the system, because sometimes the division is between 'solicitor' and 'not solicitor', and the category of barrister exists to distinguish people who don't do both.
I'm weird. why is it I don't really like Liberal-republicanism but I can get absolutely lost in its trivia like what 'attorney' means, fascinated the whole time?
court trial / court case (incident going through process of being tried, incident whose details will be transcribed; sense)

court cases and social movements
Anti-discrimination laws are not possible when courtrooms are not possible / If courtrooms are not feasible, then anti-discrimination laws are not feasible

court cases and objectivity
Courtrooms are not possible without objective truth / Judges cannot make decisions without a concept of material accuracy -> I find it a little crazy that people are in such agreement that you can't trust cops, but they'll all trust judges, and they won't trust scientists. at this point in time it seems more likely that people will respond positively to appeals to Phoenix Wright than to appeals to 'the scientific method' or to 'rationality'. as contradictory as that may sound when like, a lot of bourgeois law is Kantian and fundamentally Enlightenment-rationalist, so it's not obvious what the difference is.
this + ?? = Anti-discrimination laws are not possible when courtrooms are not possible.
Materialism aids the prosecutor / It is impossible for Liberal-republicanism to enforce laws without material models of society / Materialism aids The Cops (sense) / Materialism aids The State
