Legal Precedent

Legal Precedent
By citing long standing legal precedent and case law, you can use the legal principle of ‘stare decisis’ to your advantage in any court of law or business negotiation.
Prerequsites: Trained in Gather Information or Knowledge [Civics]
Benefit: When initially taking a case or negotiations, either civil or criminal, you may make a DC 22 Knowledge [Civics] or Gather Information check to find helpful legal precedents. If you succeed on the check, you add the amount you beat the check DC by as an insight bonus on all Knowledge [Civics], Knowledge [Business], or Persuasion checks made during the case or negotiations. Thus, if your Gather Information check result was a 25, you would receive a +3 bonus on all legal checks made during the case. The initial check requires at least 8 hours of work. Failing the initial check confers no penalty, you simply fail to find any useful court decisions.
