* CourtroomEpisode: In Chapter 5, when Marshal Steele comes into town and claims to be the real marshal for Lander County, one possible resolution is for you to investigate, then go into the Babylon Saloon and lay out your case against him. It's not quite a formal trial as there's no judge and only an ad-hoc jury, but it still fits. If you do exceptionally well, the trial can go into future law textbooks as an example of how to present a case.
