When Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) and Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer), two young attorneys with a no-holds-barred courtroom style, are hired by Stanton Infeld (Malcolm McDowell), life at his buttoned-down law firm will never be the same. Working with their equally oddball staff, Franklin and Bash shake things up at the firm with their audacious tactics and immediately find an enemy in its star lawyer, Infeld’s nephew Damien Karp. As sexual tension between Jared and senior partner Hanna Linden boils over and Peter breaks up with his longtime girlfriend, prosecutor Janie Ross, they continue fighting for the underdogs while learning to swim with the sharks in the world of high-stakes corporate law.
