Pound the Table (Fanfic)	comment	Finding oneself transported into a fictional universe is hard enough, especially when it's the Marvel Universe. Being thrown into the Marvel Universe in the 80s, decades earlier than you were born, is even worse. Add in being a mutant on top of all of that? Not fun.So what do you do? Join the X-Men, and become a protector of the world, trying to change the way people view your kind? Join Magneto, and fight to make the world accept mutants or else?Well, if you're Noa Schaefer, the answer is neither: you get your law degree, become a legal representative, and fight for the rights of other mutants like yourself from the courtroom.Pound The Table by October Daye is, as you may have guessed, a Marvel Self-Insert fic with a rather... unusual take on the genre. Notable for being written by a real-life lawyer, and thus averting Artistic License – Law, and its use of Deliberate Values Dissonance.It can also be read here, here, and here.See Lamarckian by the same author.

Pound the Table (Fanfic) / int_2dc0d2bf	comment	Hidden Depths: Schmoel "Sam" Lieberman, senior partner at Noa's law firm and the one who hired her in the first place. At first glance, he seems like the textbook sexist boss who only hired Noa to be the "token female", holds her back because of her gender, calls her a dyke under his breath, and has a beef with her because she has stock in the "iron monger" company of Stark Industries (he's a Mondale supporter). But later, he tells her that she hasn't been made a partner because her Courtroom Antics piss off too many judges and he's had to placate more than a few of them by throwing several golf games, and he can't risk her getting sanctioned or disbarred. The reason he gives her the pro bono case for Judge Andrews (one of the aforementioned pissed-off judges) is because he needs to know she can handle a high-profile case like this with delicacy, and not end up on the Bugle's front page again. He is also regretful that despite two days of arguing and effort, he couldn't save Noa's job nor get her a better severance package after she suffers a Glamor Failure in court, outright saying that she deserves better.

It's a small touch that when Lieberman calls her into his office after she suffers a Glamor Failure, he gives her a chair with an open back. Similarly, she either has to deal with pants or skirts not having tail holes, or spend a bundle on custom tailoring for them.

When she tries to get Judge Andrews to reverse St. John's guilty verdict, the judge orders the bailiff to remove her, and in the resulting struggle, her horns hit his chest and end up breaking her glamor. She also avoids the crowds at Rosh Hashanah celebrations for this reason.

While there are obvious attempts to sway the jury and the Judge is pretty blatant in his favoritism, nothing illegal happens in the court. After all, you can't make an example if the trial is a sham, not so close to re-election season. However, Judge Andrews' antics of prejudicing the jury (by charging an officer with contempt for carrying a cigarette into the courtroom and reminding everyone of St. John's pyrokinesis) and not declaring a mistrial make it clear to everyone watching of the prejudice in the courtroom, especially after the jury returns a guilty verdict.

Pound the Table (Fanfic) / int_60fb097	comment	Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: DA Lou Young was up for election, and was already leading in the polls. However, he decided he needed to be seen securing another conviction in order to make his case to the voters that he was tough on crime, no matter what, so he went after the 16-year-old mutant St. John Allerdyce. Because of his actions during the trial, his poll numbers collapsed. He wasn't voted out however, because he died before that could happen. Norman Osborn had Oscorp's legal council take up his case against Ben, and they were very capable of really making things difficult for Noa. Even so, his Green Goblin personality drove him to have Noa's office ransacked, making it seem like she was targeted by Neo-Nazis. But because he decided to have the computers in the office infected with the virus also used in corporate espionage, he'd inadvertently gave Noa a way to deny him his lawyers when they are forced to drop representing him in order to take up Oscorp's defense against the espionage charges. Granted, there was no way Norman could have known one of Noa's paralegals would have discovered the issue with the computers, or how that same paralegal was acquainted with someone who would recognize the virus as the same one being used against Oscorp's competitors.

A 16-year-old boy was mugged by 4 fully grown men, took a blow to the head that could've killed him, and still managed to chase them off, with one mugger even breaking his leg as he ran away. So why is the boy being charged with assault? Because the boy is St. John Allerdyce, and he chased them off with his mutant power of pyrokinesis. Ben Parker was almost charged for assaulting Norman Osborn when the former was protecting Harry from the latter. Even if Ben avoided being charged, Norman is suing Ben.

While this case is underway, many of the top sports leagues put their major competitions on hiatus, since no athlete would dare to perform their best if a simple accusation of playing too well could strip them of their livelihood. The amount of lost revenue and public pressure is the in-universe reason why this case rockets through the bureaucracy unrealistically fast.

If not, there will be reasons given why things wouldn't go the way they'd go in real-life court. For the Jacques Canter case, there are two things that the author admits would not happen in reality. The first is the speed of the pretrial proceedings, which would normally take several months to process and not just two. In-universe, it is justified by the fact that American professional sports have ground to a halt as an indirect result of the lawsuit, meaning there is a massive push for a quick resolution. Secondly, the judge engages in "additur" (increasing monetary damages rewarded in a lawsuit) in a single instant, where in real life deciding damage takes as long, if not longer, as the actual trial, and occurs very rarely. In-universe, this is because the judge wants Noa to owe him a favor for a friend of his.

When Becker loses to a newcomer Jacques Canter at the US tennis open, he accuses Canter of cheating with a mutant power, backed up by the officials, resulting in Canter being stripped of his awards and sponsors and barred from competing. When Canter decides to sue them for defamation, the resulting media attention grinds practically all sporting in the US to a halt as they await the verdict, and then Becker has to suffer through videos of college-age athletes recreating shots that he and several other tennis professionals, officials and analysts agreed were "impossible" being played as evidence (as well as having several of his promised experts decline to testify). Losing the case and being forced to pay damages is bad enough, but then the judge decides that the initial damages are chump change to a company as big as Nike, who could easily foot the bill as the cost of doing business, so he ups the damages to a $250m amount that even Nike will feel in the morning.

Noa at the start of the story is stated to have a reputation for these kinds of things, earning her the vitriol of several judges. That said, Noa also explains that this kind of thing is a lot less common in real life than on TV, and when she does it it's always well-rehearsed beforehand, and intended to draw a specific reaction from the jury. She is a theatre kid, after all. She also extends this to scheduling trials; during a case for a defamed tennis star, she plans to file the case right before the Australian Open, both so that it'll piggyback off the tournament's media attention, and so that it'll take up all the time the defendants have to prepare and respond to the suit, making mistakes in either more likely.

Pound the Table (Fanfic) / int_b4a6ae4c	comment	Everyone Has Standards: John Jonah Jameson may be a sharp-tongued, hardass reporter with a raging grudge against Spider-Man, but he will not tolerate kids being messed with. After the first day of witness testimony, when he hears that DA Lou Young is railroading 16-year-old St. John Allerdyce into prison, mutant or no mutant, JJJ instantly rakes him over the coals with his next front-page article titled "YOUNG IS RECKLESS: UNHINGED DA BULLIES TEEN ARTIST". Noa plans to have that article framed. When St. John is declared guilty anyway and Magneto ends up breaking him out of the police van, not only does Captain America (who was watching the trial in disguise) not stop him, but JJJ says on the record that if Spider-Man had been the one to break him out, he'd have shaken the wall-crawler's hand and called him a true hero. In the ruckus, Noa is revealed to be a mutant in the middle of court, but before anyone can start shouting imprecations, JJJ declares that anyone who starts spreading baseless rumours about Noa or dragging her through the mud will become the full target of his ire.

That said, he does prevent Young from doing the same based on sexual preference. On appeal, Justice Smith agrees with Noa that this was one of Judge Andrews's many points of misconduct, as Andrews should have understood that since the case was about the treatment of a minority group in jury selection, it should be equally applicable to all minority groups.

Pound the Table (Fanfic) / int_ed84457a	type	Consummate Professional
Pound the Table (Fanfic) / int_ed84457a	comment	Consummate Professional: Despite her reputation for Courtroom Antics, Noa has a sharp air of professionalism about her when it comes to presenting a case correctly, mostly due to the need to be above-par at her job just to be recognized. After she strikes out on her own after being outed as a mutant and being fired from her firm, when a woman walks into her office and hands her a resume for the open secretary position with mutant telekinesis, Noa firmly tells her to come back in a week for a proper interview with all the proper references, and an actual suit. She's also not very impressed when her old boss calls in a few of her favours to get his son a job as her paralegal (however sympathetic she might be, she hates Nepotism).

Pound the Table (Fanfic) / int_eff83d77	comment	Mundane Utility: Thrown back to the 1980s, Noa takes advantage of her future knowledge to both pad her stock portfolio with companies that will be big in the future, and also catch Freddie Mercury live in concert. Noa is happy when Pietro comes over to be her kitchen assistant.

Pound the Table (Fanfic) / int_f005bd1c	comment	Friend on the Force: FBI agent Catherine "Cate" Caine, Noa's best friend in NYC and also captain of the local roller derby team. She and Noa have interacted a few times on both a personal and professional basis, and Noa feels bad about lying to her to protect Erik and St. John, who are both on the run after St. John's conviction.
