- Summary:
- Pittsburgh corporate lawyer Nick Fallin's high life has gotten the best of him. Arrested for drug use, he is sentenced to 1,500 hours of community service. He must now squeeze those hours into his 24/7 cutthroat world of mergers, acquisitions, and board meetings. Reluctantly, he is now a part-time child advocate at Legal Aid Services, where one case after another is an eye-opening instance of kids caught up in difficult circumstances. As the show progresses, the Legal Aid Services' mission changes for lack of funding, and the focus shifts to serve primarily adults. Includes 22 episodes.
