LAW: Government counsel, gas, it's all the same

I noticed that Mr. Colton Boyles has recently been hired to represent not only the Community Library Network board but also the NIC board. Since both boards seem prone to generating lawsuits, I was concerned that Mr. Boyles, a one-person firm, might be overwhelmed with the workload. However, upon reflection, I realized that Boyle's Law can readily call upon similar firms with the same expertise, namely Charles' Law and Avogadro's Law since these are all gas laws. What that gas may be I'll leave to the reader's imagination. They might also bring in Gay Lussac's Law, but that firm sounds like it may be too woke.

Of course, they all have the same potential problem: They get hot under the collar when they come under pressure. After all, PV=nRT.
