Synopsis
Takanashi Shoko (Yonekura Ryoko) is a former lawyer who had her license revoked. Prior to her disbarment, there were dark rumors that she punched her boss and that she was extorting in collaboration with organized gang. She persuades Kyogoku Masahiko (Takahashi Hideki), a university professor who is an attorney on paper only, to open Kyogoku Law Firm, and tells plausible lies to recruit lawyers (Hayashi Kento and Katsumura Masanobu) and paralegals (Arakawa Yoshiyoshi, Adachi Yumi, and Miura Shohei) who are known to have problems. She orders them around like an arrogant demon, pushing forward towards achieving victory no matter how disadvantageous the litigation. Confronting them is Felix & Temma Law Firm, headed by Tenma Soichiro (Kohinata Fumiyo) and lawyers Kaizaki Hayato (Mukai Osamu) and Shiratori Minako (Nanao). Can the team of lawyers of lesser power led by Shoko achieve victory against the powerful elite lawyers? Furthermore, what was the reason Shoko was disbarred?
