Legal Department

The Legal Department is run by the Fern.

Little is known about the Legal Department but that it seems to deal with the Laws of Narrative Comedy, the Ironic Overpower, laws of probability, Murphy's Law, and the more mundane actual legal matters that the PPC must deal with. In this last matter, they are stated to be more proficient and have more experience than the Discworld's pre-eminent lawyer, Mr. Slant. The Department Head has stated that the purpose of Legal is to maintain the balance between order and chaos, as represented by their Departmental logo, the Legal Chao. The Chao (pronounced "cow") resembles a yin-yang with order represented by the five-frond fern on one side and chaos by the anti-gravity apple on the other. The significance of the anti-gravity apple is unknown - it is rumoured to represent the Head of the Physics Division, a former Head of Department, or something else entirely.

The only known Agent in this Department is Agent Aspen.

Location
The location of Legal is classified, although it is known to be within the bounds of HQ. It has several approaches. One is described as the entrance corridor, and 'is wallpapered with wilver paisley patterns on urple (with blello sconces)'. Another is simply black. The walls in Legal have the curious property of causing psychic 'sound' (such as that used by the Flowers to communicate) to echo.

Access
The so-called entrance hall has never been seen. Access to the body of the Department through the black corridor requires some form of portal or teleportation, in which an orb of light falls from the ceiling and moves the visitor through space. Visitors don't get to this stage very often at all.

Divisions
The known Divisions of Legal are:


 * The Physics Division
 * The Trans-Normal Accountancy Division
