Conservator
In Cardassian law, a conservator was a Cardassian occupation, vaguely similar to a public defender. As opposed to their Human counterpart, Conservators were not supposed to win a case. Rather, the role was to prepare the accused for a moving confession of guilt on the floor of the court. In the exceedingly rare event that a Conservator actually won and the court were to find their client innocent, it actually had the power to ruin their career. ()

Kovat was one of most popular and widely known conservators in the Cardassian Union in the 2360s and 70s. In 2370, he won a case, 'representing' Miles O'Brien in a charge of supplying arms to the Maquis. Unfortunately, he was only a year away from retirement. ()
