You are arrested and charged. You can choose to defend yourself, or hire a lawyer. If you defend yourself, roll Advocate 8+. If you succeed, the charges are dropped. If you fail, gain an Enemy and take the Prisoner career in your next term.
If you hired a lawyer and fail, gain the lawyer as a Contact and take the Prisoner career in your next term.
If you hire a lawyer and fail what? Do you still make a Advocate Roll, seems there is a line missing explaining it.
