* OmnidisciplinaryLawyer: Averted in ''Paladin's Grace''. Zale is very clear that they are a ''property'' lawyer, not a criminal lawyer, and they only end up representing Grace [[spoiler: at her murder trial]] because it's an emergency. They do a pretty good job anyway, but their main tactics are to delay and try to get a mistrial declared. Luckily for Grace, [[spoiler: her supposed poisoning victim isn't actually dead, and comes out of hiding the second he realizes an innocent woman is being prosecuted for his "murder".]]
