I read many case excerpts in law school, and this fits the genre perfectly. The concurring and dissenting opinions also read very true.

That said, it was saddled with the sluggish pace of such documents. But, the reveal was worth the sedentary pace: the Librans, in the form of sugary planetary dust, are living beings! the point of this interesting story is that many of the Solons of any age are reluctant to grant “humanity” status to indigenous alien life. Similarly, the manner In which “masters” viewed African slaves or American Indians when they first encountered them. This is a profound lesson for all. If only the pace could be accelerated a bit, I think you’d have your book. Well done!
