Some rich men pay local black courts not to accept commissions against them. - (Plunder of Gor, Chapter 26, Sentence #31)

Some rich men pay local black courts not to accept commissions against them. There seems little doubt that over the years the black courts became less scrupulous in the commissions they accepted. The original image of the elite mercenary, hired to do good and carry right into otherwise inaccessible precincts, supplying a needed service not otherwise available, became transformed into that of the contemporary black caste, an order of skilled, dangerous men particular about little else but their fees. It might be noted, in passing, that the black caste is jealous of what it regards as its prerogatives. - (Plunder of Gor)
