Our main character is an honest rookie lawyer, and desperate to get help to acquit his client, he ends up hiring a more experienced lawyer with a particular "superpower" for knowing when someone is lying, a penchant for provocation and no hesitation in twisting the interpretation of the law for his defendants.
Written many years after the author wrote タクティカル・ジャッジメント 逆転のトリック・スター! (富士見ファンタジア文庫), sharing the same lighting-fast legal system, this is intended as a more serious courtroom story with more strict limits... which of course won't stop our experienced lawyer.
When it comes to engaging courtroom drama and swift legal action, you can't go wrong with this author.
