So The Mighty Chin waded into Kubo's show, threatened him with violence, got into a fight with someone defending Kubo, and still thinks he's in the right. Evidently Wash's initial assessment of giant clusterfuck is pretty damn accurate.
"Enough." He doesn't need to be loud when he can be sharp, and he cuts through the conversation completely, rounding on Rico. "You're new, Arbitrator, so you may not know that standard practice around here is to get the entire story before passing judgment." Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. "While Archangel spoke out of turn-" His tone makes the words an admonishment, and he's definitely sending Garrus an apology after this. "-he did provide me with needed information. To that end-"
He turns to face Kubo. "Paperboy, you will report to Kid Quantum's office within twenty-four hours to provide an explanation of events and receive your punishment. Beetle, as his guardian, I expect you to ensure that he does. You are both dismissed." It's completely backwards - they all know that Beetle will forget within the next thirty seconds and Kubo is responsible enough to make his way to Kid Q's himself - but it makes a good show for The Law, and that's what's important right now.
He turns to Garrus next. "Archangel, you are to report to medical. Upon completion of treatment, you are to report immediately to Kid Quantum's office for debriefing and punishment. If you fail to do so, I will see to it personally that your sentence is doubled." Yep, definitely sending him an apology later. "You are dismissed."
Finally, he turns back to The Law. "Arbiter, you are to report to Kid Quantum immediately for debrief. I will accompany you to forestall any further run-ins. Now let's go."
