This uncanny team is led by Takanashi often opposing big law firms.

Episode Recaps

Episode 1

Shoko Takanashi, a disbarred lawyer, managed to persuade Kyogoku Masahiko, a lawyer on paper only, to establish a law firm. 

Takanashi involves herself in the law firm as a supervisor and hires an amateur lawyer, Aoshima Keita. She also recruits inexperienced paralegals: a host, a former bank employee who served time for embezzling 100 million yen, and a former security guard who was convicted of stalking. 

Aoshima Keita brings home the very first case of Kyogoku Law Firm; a false groping accusation. The team was initially disappointed and underwhelmed since 99.99% of the time, the suspect is found guilty in cases like these anyway. However, it turns out that the case it is more than just a mere groping incident.
