==Appearances==
===Justice===
Atticus made his first appearance in "Trial of the Lawbots" when Eileen Irenic and Constance Miller were sent to him by Judge McIntosh as he was an expert in Cog law. He agreed to help the Toons prosecute Clarabelle. He journey with Eileen, Dr. Kilo Byte, and Piggy Pie into Lawbot Tower One to ask the District Attorney for a permit to have a Toon prosecution. Surprisingly, the Clerk of the DA granted the request. Atticus was designated as leader of the Toon prosecution. Atticus led the prosecution in jury selection in "Castle on the Cliff" when six Toons and six Cogs were placed on the jury. Though not ideal for either party, it was better than a Cog majority and Atticus continued to fight hard in the case. 
Opening statements and witness questioning commenced in "Brawl of the Bossbots." Atticus fought valiantly and with great effort to portray Clarabelle as guilty of crimes prior to the rise of Cog Nation, but his attempts were futile and the defense had most of his better points thrown out, leaving him feeling defeated. Closing arguments were delivered in "By a Preponderance" and due to the nature of the jury being a split between Cogs and Toons, Atticus prepared for the inevitable hung jury, but was surprised to find that one Cog voted for conviction, tipping the scale and convicting Clarabelle. Atticus had won his case.
