How did I ever miss this post? Or the relevant edits to The Association's page. Wow, epic fail on my part, sorry, mate.

This is a fantastic addition to the culture of the Association. I quite like it a great deal.

How often do duels occur between different social classes? What if some poor dirt farmer insults a baronson, or vice-versa?

Did I read correctly that someone can issue a written apology, and have that be used as criminal evidence leading to their imprisonment?

Are there legal limits to what constitutes a valid offence?

I liked the part where the seconds have to get the principals to agree on a dress code. That's a very subtle and effective way to not only get them to agree to something other than fighting each other, but forces them to reconsider how potentially frivolous the issue at hand may be. That is, once you are deciding on what colour socks are appropriate to the occasion, you may finally realise that someone's drunken off-hand remark really isn't worth the hassle. There have been Real World &trade; duels between women with dress codes agreed upon by the combatants. They often agreed to go topless so as to minimise blood on their dresses.

Just a few minor editing notes:
 * "dangerous to thus individuals" should read, "dangerous to those individuals"
 * "however, it extended to those of the upper classes generally." should read, "however, it extendeds to those of the upper classes." or, "however, it is extended to those of the upper classes."
 * "no duel can legal proceed" should be "no duel can legally proceed"
