does not sound like "part timers welcome"... Maybe not 'part timers welcome' but 'Professor Ozpin does things by his terms and likes having agents with their own, in-built plausible deniability'. Yeah, I've got the feeling that, whatever got Summer killed, was highly unofficial (maybe even technically illegal).

You also clearly have missed the difference between 'traditional' and 'legal'. Tradition, possibly thousands of years old, says something and most Huntsmen and Huntresses follow it without questioning. However, they're not automatically official regulation and those that are not can be breached if the individual wants to, even though some more traditionalist people may be annoyed by that.
