Newton's Law

When her suburban solicitors office is incinerated by a disgruntled client, Josephine Newton resumes her briefly glorious career at the Bar.

Josephine and Lewis inherit a murder trial where all the evidence points to their client being guilty, while Johnny and Skye are reluctantly thrown together to help defend Skye’s father from an assault charge.

Josephine is surprised that Whitley wants her to represent him in a property dispute, and the downstairs team make their own discoveries in what is ostensibly a simple assault case.

As Josephine unexpectedly re-unites with a former client, Lewis defence of a privileged thief unearths a troubling link between the boy and her sister, Rose.
