Elizabeth struggles to overcome some personal setbacks---including an indictment for jury tampering---in time to take control of a high-profile case involving two impudent high-school girls who are implicated in the murder of a classmate.

Elizabeth faces disbarment and jail time for jury tampering, so Russell, Chester and Molly hatch a plan to save her---and the firm---that targets Zach Williams' uncomfortable memories about an old murder case.

In the first-season finale, Elizabeth's defense of an admitted rapist forces her to straddle a rigid personal boundary. Meanwhile, Chester goes after a slumlord on behalf of a little girl who was mauled by a rat, and Molly anxiously awaits the results of her bar exam.
