This show, Fox's strongest newcomer, is at its very
best as a dissection of state-of-the-art trial
manipulation.
From Jerry Bruckheimer,
executive producer of “CSI” and “Without a Trace,”
comes JUSTICE, an unflinching, behind-the-scenes look at
the way high-profile cases are tried in the media age.
Love them or hate them, in the high-stakes world of
criminal defense, these are the people you want in your
corner when your life is on the line. JUSTICE features a
dream team of four lawyers from disparate backgrounds who
join forces to tackle the most controversial and
newsworthy cases. With their unique skill sets and the
power of forensic law, this formidable team becomes
indispensable to the law firm of Trott, Nicholson, Tuller
& Graves.
RON TROTT (Victor Garber,
“Alias,” “Titanic”) is the face seen on every
media talk show in the country – and he wants it that
way. He’s great at landing a client, spinning a case and
getting his way, but juries hate him. It was his
inspiration and win-at-all-cost mentality that brought
this group of brilliant, ego-driven attorneys together.
Standing behind Ron – as far away from the cameras as
possible – is TOM NICHOLSON (Kerr Smith, “Charmed”),
the heart of the firm. Iowa-born and -bred, Tom is a
brilliant litigator whose Everyman, earnest manner makes
him Ron’s alter ego. Trials are won and lost on the art
of battle in a courtroom, and Tom is a master of his
domain. LUTHER GRAVES (Eamonn Walker, “Oz”) is famous
in the African-American community, always conscious of
where he came from and where he’s going. Luther is
well-connected, politically motivated and in possession of
an uncanny ability to take a step back and assess the
merits of a case from both the prosecution’s and the
defense’s perspective ... anticipating the story each
side will tell. ALDEN TULLER (Rebecca Mader, “The Devil
Wears Prada”) is a young, ambitious and brilliant
clinician. Able to comprehend the most complex forensic
and legal issues, she approaches each case analytically,
uncovering ways to destroy expert witnesses on
cross-examination.
When realtor-to-the-stars
Kevin O’Neil is accused of brutally murdering his
beautiful wife, he hires TNT&G. The media, led by the
info-tainment court show “American Crime,” have all
but convicted him. But the lawyers have another idea.
Using state-of-the-art forensic interpretation, jury
consultants, mock juries, experts and masterful media
spin, they endeavor to save their client. Is he an
innocent father of two whose tragic loss is only
compounded by his legal woes? Or are they defending a
cold-blooded killer? These and other questions are
answered in JUSTICE.
This outstanding and most
powerful court-room drama is full of gimmicks, kinetic
trickery and whiplash transitions that leave all other
shows in the dust.
