Disguises[]
Challenges[]

- 1: Courthouse - In the security room behind the front desk.
- 2: Holding Cell - On the table in the room with the exit.
- 3: Prison - In the dark storage room past the security gate, with the officer talking on his cellphone.
- Infiltrator - Avoid getting spotted.
- Suit Only - Avoid using disguises.
- Obstruction - The prosecutor's case is crumbling. (Turn off the video evidence in the courtroom.)
- No Collateral Damage - Let justice run its course. (No kills in the entire mission.)
- Take the Fall - Stay loyal to the cause. (Obtain Tin Foil Hat Man's disguise, enter the courtroom and be sentenced.)
- Take Office - He has learned his lesson. (Obtain the Judge's disguise and acquit Timothy Hawke, the Tin Foil Hat Man.)
- One Man Riot - They stood in the way of freedom. (Kill 10 enemies with the Glass Shiv, whilst remaining unseen. Kills only count in the Prison section.)
- So Close and yet so Far - Complete "Skurky's Law".
- Judgement Day - Part 1 - Lady Justice is blind. But she packs a punch. (Dress as the judge. Subdue the single court usher in the courthouse library and dispose of the body, unseen.)
- Judgement Day - Part 2 - Lady Justice is blind. But she packs a punch. (The same as in "Judgement Day - Part 1", only neutralize and hide three court ushers while remaining hidden and without raising the alarm.)
- Judgement Day - Part 3 - Lady Justice is blind. But she packs a punch. (While wearing the judge's disguise, use the Gavel to silently execute Timothy Hawke, the Tin Foil Hat Man. The easiest way to do this is to complete "Obstruction" so that the judge calls for recess and the Tin Foil Hat Man goes to the bathroom. Subdue/Kill the judge, dress in his robes and enter the men's room (The Judge disguise allows access to all of the courtroom).)
- Mastery: Skurky's Law - You're out of order. (Complete all other challenges for this mission)
Trivia[]
- Kane from the Kane & Lynch series make a second cameo appearance in this mission in which in the holding cells, go to the right, then enter a vent and you will hear him reading the letter that he is writing for his daughter.
- 47 can sabotage the evidence computer, then take the disguise of Timothy Hawke when they go for a bathroom break. If the player acts along as ordered, they will be sentenced and escorted to the holding cells. If the player continues to follow along, they will be put in a cell which must be lockpicked to continue.
- The player can also take the disguise of the Judge, where 47 will pass the sentence of Timothy Hawke as not guilty. With this disguise, the player can freely move around, as no one will see through the disguise, and can also freely enter the holding cells.
- All disguises (including the Hope Police Officer) will be spotted immediately in the Prison. This is considered a bug. Even so, it is possible to complete the section while remaining unseen.
