Dove, on Riker's qualifications to negotiate peace treaties.

lool

LOl which episode is it?

HAHAHAHAHAH

ahaha oh yeah ANY TIME IN STAR TREK WHEN YOU THINK IT'S A JOB FOR A LEGAL EXPERT

they will never have one

Yup

Maybe in the future you need to pass the bar before you get promoted to captain or first officer

You'd think a ship that does diplomatic missions would have a legal expert. It would be useful.

the mercs in Schlock Mercenary have a lawyer on board.

it amuses me that Howard Tayler realized the issues better than pretty much all of the Star Trek writers.
