SYNOPSIS

Shoko Takanashi 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 Masahiko Kyogoku, a university professor who is an attorney on paper only, to open Kyogoku Law Firm, and tells plausible lies to recruit lawyers and paralegals 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 and Temma Law Firm, headed by Soichiro Tenma and lawyers Hayato Kaizaki and Minako Shiratori. 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?
