Halfway through the first season I wanted all the main characters arrested for overacting, evidence tampering and smugness. The flashbacks will drive you nuts, as will the basic plots mix. Hot shot lawyer/professor solves cases daily, in between classes, while using a bunch of suck-up law students as free assistants. The whole mess is entangled in a domestic murder mystery.
All the sets are bathed in implausible moody lighting so the students can snipe at each other and not be seen. The heroine law prof is tough in court and falls apart at home while her slimy husband boinks several characters behind her back, not that she doesn't also have a stud on the side. The daily cases, which are always won by the prof, are made-for-tv trashy stories, while the long-term mystery between the prof and her husband, also a prof, is even more trashy. Everyone is guilty of something.
I have avoided mainstream TV for so long that I have lost track of what junk it is. The ABC logo should be a big warning. I cannot figure how this series has gone on for so long.

Years ago, this would have been a straight to tape piece of junk, the movie where you fast forward to the sexy parts. Even then it wouldn't have created a stir. Today, it is still tedious and stupid, an unbelievable plot, dimly lit and filmed in some anonymous city. I still recommend using the fast forward button, but be careful, the sexy stuff doesn't last long. It might be good for practicing your Spanish. The actors are all unknowns, most with the anonymous, dark-eyed good looks of a soap opera star. A kid from an orphanage escapes the cops through the efforts of a madam who supplies sex partners to lonely, rich women. Although the kid looked way too old to be stuck in the orphanage, he learned to sport a tux, grow one of those persistent four-day-old beards and become popular with the older ladies. You can easily fill out the details. One episode was far too much. If I missed something important in the rest of the episodes, I apologize. Just about anything would be a better use of your time.
