Development of Lawbot Headquarters
Lawbot Headquarters came out on the Test Server on April 5th 2006 and had major changes until it was publicly released on the Open Server on April 25th 2006. Lawbot HQ was known to go through major changes for testing including the DA's Attorney Office and the Chief Justice.[1]
Release
As Lawbot HQ came out on April 5th 2006 for testing, Toons that were training in The Brrrgh had the opportunity to take on the District Attorney's Office before it was finalized in the Open Server.
District Attorney's Office
The District Attorney's Office was one of the features that got changed the most during it's time on the Test Server. It originally looked more like Cashbot Headquarters as props from Cashbot HQ were temporarily used as placeholders. It slowly changed with more props being added as the days went by. When Toons entered the District Attorney's Office entrance, toons originally had their Lawbot Cog Suit on. This was removed in an update on April 13.

Goons originally had orange construction caps instead of security guard helmets until an update on April 18th.
The Office originally didn't have the Three in a Row minigame until the Test Server update on April 7th. The Avoid the Skulls Minigame originally had faster moving skulls but due to unbalanced difficulty, they were slowed down in an update on April 14th. When a Toon completed a minigame, they didn't receive a Toon-Up until an update on April 18th. You originally had to press the button to complete a minigame instead of the button automatically being pressed until an update on April 19th. There weren't enough Gag-up Barrels on the D Office floor until an update on April 19th.
Chief Justice Battle
Toons didn't have to earn Jury Notices (Originally known as Subpoenas[Citation Needed »]) to battle the Chief Justice. This lasted until an update on April 12th. There weren't originally Chief Justice SpeedChat phrases until an update on April 12th.[Citation Needed »]
The Chief Justice Battle was originally harder as when the Toons stunned all the cogs, Toons didn't receive any Laff Points and Bonus Evidence thrown on the scales until an update on April 19th. Also, the "Bonus Time" was originally 10 seconds instead of 20.. This was corrected on April 20th.
Toons or Cogs didn't originally sit on the seats during the Cannon Round until an update on April 14th.
