fixed creature type

These cards trigger when any law is broken, not just this one. Is that intentional?

The wording also seems very casual. Regardless, in a multiplayer game, it may be confusing to remember who broke which laws (if that matters).

It is very intentional that any broken law triggers all Justice effects.

Ancestral see Consul Investigator for our experimental new wording which should decrease repeating and tracking.

As for "wording seems casual", it's actually very precisely phrased; it's just flavourful too. That's the direction Wizards have been going in recently - see "When Renegade Krasis evolves", "When Sidisi's Faithful exploits a creature", "When Nessian Wilds Ravager enters the battlefield, if tribute wasn't paid", "Viridian Betrayers has infect as long as an opponent is poisoned", and so on.
