Robbers, muggers and liars are the people who make the world of Magistrates' Courts go around. Trouble is, you'd be hard pressed to know which ones are the criminals and which ones are the lawyers. This is the lesson Theodore Gulliver must learn as he begins his training as a duty brief at the criminal defence firm, Bagnall & Dunbar.
His mentor is Bruce Dunbar (Phil Daniels) - a hardened pro in the art of getting people off. To him, Principles is where you buy your knickers when Marks & Spencer is closed. This is not what Gulliver (Ray Emmet Brown) was taught at law school, but as he negotiates policemen looking for promotion and juveniles that nobody knows what to do with, it becomes clear he needs to learn a whole new set of rules.
As for Dunbar, he may have no social graces and a first class degree in misanthropy, but there's no one better defence solicitor around
