In “Clients”, replace

As a weekly action, an Attorney with fewer than three Clients may take on a new Client by privately making a request to the Judge which specifies a set of Clients by the stats listed in the Pool (eg. “all Business Clients worth above $750,000”, “all Clients with the surname Chamberlain”, “Morgan, James, Anne or State of Connecticut”). At any time (except on Saturday or Sunday), the Judge may process a request chosen at secretly-random from all unprocessed requests that they have received. When such a request is processed, if the specified set includes any Clients (excluding non-State Clients who are already represented by other Attorneys, and Clients who Mistrust the requesting Attorney), a secretly random one of those Clients is added to the set of Clients that the requesting Attorney represents. The Attorney is then privately informed of the outcome of their request.

with:

As a weekly action, an Attorney with fewer than three Clients may take on a new Client by updating the list below. The new Client must not be a non-State Client who is already represented by any other Attorney, and the new Client must not Mistrust the Attorney.

If an Attorney made any requests for a new Client that were processed since the submission of this Proposal, consider those requests to be a update under the new text of the rule for the purposes of determining whether this action is a weekly action.

There’s no need for me to be in this loop now. Anyone can see which Clients are free, and request just the specific one they want, so why not just let them do it themselves?

The last sentence is an attempt to prevent making a request under the old next, enacting this proposal, and then immediately getting a new client under the new text, as two separate weekly actions.

I think the outguessing still has some mileage in it: that it’s never 100% safe to request the single, best-possible Client as there’s a chance that someone else will have done the same, and you’ll have wasted your weekly action.

I’m still figuring this dynasty out, but it seems like this will broadly speaking speed up the client process, which I’m all for.
