Mnemonic

Be careful what you say in public, otherwise you might face a lawsuit. People will sue you for just about anything these days, so you really need to watch what you say in public, otherwise you might find yourself with a lawsuit on your hands.

Hints

Think of all the things you could say in public that could get you stuck dealing with a lawsuit.

Oh my gosh! How dare you think those things?! You're lucky you didn't say them out loud in public, or I'd file a lawsuit against you myself!

Any and all lawsuits need to be brought before the Shougun (しょう). Oh, you thought you'd get a judge or a jury? Nope, the Shougun decides your fate.

Hints

You better hope what you said wasn't about the Shougun, or he's really going to use this lawsuit to destroy you.
