一路 真二

A teacher of the defense course at Themis Legal Academy. Means was also a defense attorney and was known for his belief that "the end justifies the means"; he believed that a lawyer's top priority should be winning trials by any means necessary. In addition, he would accept bribes for good grades. Means graduated from Themis Legal Academy himself, being valedictorian of his graduating class. When Themis alumna and Means's now-colleague Constance Courte became aware of someone in the faculty accepting monetary bribes for grades, she confronted Means on the stage where the upcoming school festival was to be held. Cornered, Means stabbed Courte to death with his staff. He decided to frame student Juniper Woods for the murder, but this backfired when Woods's attorney, Athena Cykes, uncovered Means's crime in court.
