Textual: It is interesting that Mormon is clearly antipathetic to the lawyers and judges in Ammonihah. He shows no such antipathy to judges in any other location, and we hear of the lawyers only in Ammonihah, and then later in 3 Nephi. It is possible that lawyers were an Ammonihahite innovation, or that the system in Ammonihah was particularly corrupt, and Mormon's disparaging comments about the lawyers and judges apply only to Ammonihahite lawyers and judges. We do not know how Mormon might have known that the lawyers and judges stirred up the people to get more "business." It is quite doubtful that they would have left any official documents describing such activities. It appears that we are seeing one of Mormon's interpretations, and as we saw with King Noah, when Mormon takes a dislike to one of his subjects, he makes to effort to be neutral, but rather allows his antipathy to show through clearly.
