A stack of bound legal documents, their pages dense with case law, procedural arguments, and tactical annotations. The Doctor carries these briefs into court, referencing their contents to drive cross-examinations and strategize against the Megara's rigid procedures. Romana observes as The Doctor flips through pages to underscore inconsistencies in the trial's premises.
