Canterbury's Law

In the show's first season finale, Chester takes action when he finds out a little girl was disfigured by rats in a greedy slumlord's building. Molly gets her much anticipated bar exam results back, but is she officially a lawyer now? Elizabeth has always refused to defend a rapist, but she may not have a choice when the victim is conned into doing a drive time radio talk show.

Elizabeth is ready to admit defeat and make a deal with Deputy Attorney General Zach Williams and her pending disbarment and jail time. Russell, Chester and Molly won't let her go down so easy, so they plan to use an old murder case against Deputy Attorney General Zach Williams.

High schoolers Linda and Izzy are accused of soliciting murder for killing a classmate of theirs and it's up to Elizabeth, who is fresh out of an overnight jail stay for an indictment for jury tampering, to save them. Little does Elizabeth know, but Linda secretly switches lawyers and now blames Izzy for everything.

D.A. Williams goes after Elizabeth for jury tampering while defending Ethan Foster. Chester and Russell get wind of D.A. Williams grand jury investigations and search warrants before Elizabeth even knows anything about it. Molly prepares for her first case. Things aren't going well on the personal front for Matt and Elizabeth and it's exposed at an event for the faculty.

Elizabeth takes on the case of Louis Minot who believes he can talk to the dead. He found the body of a man that's been missing for twenty years, as well as other bodies that are turning up. Elizabeth is the only one who believes he's innocent, but it may be because she wants to believe him when he says he has information about her missing son Sam. Elizabeth reveals something about Sam's abduction that she has never told anyone else before.

In the "Pilot", we are introduced to Elizabeth Canterbury who is a defense attorney willing to even bend the law to protect the wrongly accused people. She takes the case of an accused child murderer named Ethan Foster. And she will do everything in her power to successfully defend him.
