You've accepted a player's character that's an acting guard for a Medium-High populated CityState. Your player asks for a list of laws. What do you tell them and why? (There are no wrong answers).

I cheat and use Fantsy Name Generator's Law Description Generator a few times, and then add in missing basic laws. as well as Fantasy Name Generator's Coat of Arms Generator for the Guardsman

As a law student I add a simple law of torts but modified to meet the location's theme then make custom ones for criminal offence depending on how much combat I want in given city/location.

Funny enough tort is extremely basic.

Whenever I introduce local law or lore rather than have a NPC say the whole thing up will add it in handout. Now whenever a NPC brings them up etc pc can open their book (rp) and look that stuff up.

Heck I even add newspaper every 2-3 session which is optional for pc to read. Those who do get the smart guy rp benefit otherwise it's funny interaction of NPC bring that document up and reading something out
