There are all kinds of lawyers here, each with their own skills and talents. Martha Costello (Maxine Peake) is a 30-something, single but still passionate defense lawyer who is ready to apply for royal barrister. Martha faces challenging cases and surprising clients. Her beliefs, her prejudices, her conscience and the limits of her beliefs are tested by a series of courses in the criminal justice system. Clive Reader (Rupert Penry-Jones Rupert Penry-Jones) is the same age as Martha. But he is funny, talented but also shrewd. Both are lawyers and have applied for the Royal Bar, and their performance in court has a direct impact on their fate, and Clive knows how to play the game. Who will eventually become a royal lawyer?
