Regarding the server's legal system, will real life laws/statutes/ordinances be used to any substance in court hearings? What about federal laws? Or will Liberty City use exclusively what we have written down in the government section of the forums? I'm curious to where the LCRP team stands on this. This also begs the question if judges can use case law from real life cases in civil court.

On one hand, it can make lawyers more useful if real law is cited. On the other, having to navigate the actual NYC legal system could make for a nightmare to those running a business and be confusing with the parallel set of laws we have on the forums.

To keep it simple atm. Federal Law will remain pretty much untouched with certain exceptions which will be detailed in a thread which those are. All State/Local law however will be dictated IG as per our server needs.
