[The look that Liem gives Sebastian when he speaks of the legal profession on Earth is keenly interested, as he has a great deal of curiosity for the way his faith's areas of interest were handled on other worlds. In his own country, lawyers backed by Abadar's church were the most trustworthy and often the most reliable. An unaffiliated lawyer was much more of a gamble, though they could sometimes be cheaper.]
In that case, what did the common person seek for assurance that the person representing them was worth their money and their trust? Did another institution govern such things?
[Perhaps there was a secular board that provided such marks of quality. Though Liem is inclined to view Abadar's church as being the most reliable institution to turn to for such matters, he's willing to accept that another well-managed organization could function just as well for the same purpose.]
My introduction to Abadar's church was not my own choice. I was given into the temple's care as a boy, and that is where I received my education. But it was my choice to pursue entry to the priesthood, because I believed in the message of what I was taught and I wanted to share it with others.
