    well-constructed trial story

    The several story plots are well-constructed as is the trial and its final reveal. The complications of 'getting law business', running chambers as the clerks do, and the reality of law's institutional hierarchy & promotions w/in are all well-produced and presented in this episode. The acting is superb. This is a good series overall and am glad to be able to view it, even at this late date.
