Ja Rhumann was the senior partner of the Litigaran law firm Rhumann, Willian, and Mandell, the ruling law firm when Moya visited Litigara. He and his firm were against an expansion of the rights of the Utilities, the non-lawyer minority of Litigara whose higher standing in Litigaran society would have taken power away from his firm. This made Wesley Kenn, a leading advocate for Utilities' rights, one of the firm's staunchest and most dangerous opponents.
