Justice [TV Series] (2006) Reviews

Originally titled American Crime, the Fox network legal/procedural series Justice focused on the California law firm of Trott, Nicholson, Tuller & Graves (also known as "TNT&G"), a "dream team" specializing in high-profile cases guaranteed to draw maximum media attention. Victor Garber starred as TNT&G's head man, Ron Trott, a "celebrity lawyer" in every sense of the word, who when not found in the courtroom was doing the rounds of all the best and highest-rated TV talk shows. The "N" of TNT&G was Tom Nicholson (Kerr Smith), described by Trott as "the American face of not guilty," who charmed judges and juries alike with his man-of-the-people demeanor, and whose polite, self-effacing exterior masked a win-at-all-costs aggressiveness that was second only to his senior partner. The final "T" of the firm was ambitious young female attorney Alden Tuller (Rebecca Mader), a genius at research and cross-examination. The "G" of TNT&G was former prosecutor Luther Graves (Eamonn Walker), well-connected in both political and special-interest circles, whose specialty was scrutinizing each case from both sides so as to anticipate the opposition's every move. Most of the episodes were inspired by real-life court cases, and each featured a meticulous, high-tech reenactment of the alleged crime, assembled by Trott and his colleagues to figure out all the angles. And each episode ended with a flashback to what really happened before TNT&G decided to defend their client, allowing the viewers at home to decide whether or not justice had been served. Produced for Jerry Bruckheimer Productions by former litigator Jonathan Shapiro, Justice was described by one critic as "CSI at warp speed." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
