Young lawyers practising various aspects of the law come together in an attempt to win a $250,000 prize from the "Law Firm". Overseen by law legend, Roy Black, they are given real cases to try affecting real people weekly. Competing against each other they showcase their talent, or lack thereof, and Roy Black gets a good indication of their skills. At the end of their cases they return to the Law Firm where Roy delivers his final verdict and sends the offending lawyers packing. In an intersting twist, it is not always the lawyers on the losing side who run the risk of being sent home.
