Pam Uphoff reminds me that
The Lawyers of Mars: Three Novellas is free for a couple more days.

Lizards.
Xaero was a good IP lawyer, a junior partner with the family firm. Until she successfully defended an environmental terrorist. Now the Red Ever Mars rebels have kidnapped her cousin and something suspicious about the police response leads her to believe she'd better rescue Ralphe herself.
A spoof of lawyers and a look at what Martians might have done as their world died. A light-hearted series of adventures. With scales. And briefcases. And mad scientists.

I enjoyed the first of the linked Novellas when it was produced to distract someone from repeatedly asking Lois Bujold "is it ready yet" and have enjoyed rereading them all since.
