Bralian Barristers

Okay, anyone out there with a Perry Mason fetish? I have to get ready for a
maritime court case in Bral, and would love some opinions/comments/help/etc.

One of our PCs is adamant about taking things to court upon our party's
return to Bral. Two of the other PCs were left with him when the party was
split up while exploring an extraplanar temple complex. The other two were
recent additions to the game and so were hired by the Seven Stars (their
trading/adventuring company) as a Magesmith and a bodyguard respectively.
Drake (the founder) treated them as hirelings (he is a noble and tends to
not exercise social niceties on those he considers his inferiors) and
ordered them about until they told him to shove it and split off on their
own.
When the party returns to the Rock he intends to demand that they be fired
for mutiny, and will take it to court if need be. The bodyguard, Etsuriko
(hum fem monk) was assigned to watch and guide them surreptitiously by
Kurishi Otobe/The Dragonlady (Rock of Bral accessory).

Since the 7 Stars now hold a place on the Council of Captains (they have one
small vote due to now having 5 ships in action), this could get interesting.
I am, however, uncertain how to proceed. Despite being raised in a family of
lawyers I have little idea how I should approach designing this little
interlude. Anyone have ANY ideas? I probably have about three to five weeks
(real time) before they get home to the Rock and I have to get this
rolling....
Thanks in advance!
