The Law Firm (2005)
The Law Firm is an hour-long reality television, nontraditional court show series that premiered on NBC on July 28, 2005. In the series, twelve young up-and-coming trial lawyers competed for a grand prize of $250,000. At the end of each show, attorney Roy Black decided which two competitors were the weakest and needed to be dismissed, using the catchphrase "The verdict is in. You're out." The series was cancelled by NBC after two weeks on the air due to weak ratings.

Season 1:
In the series opener, the legal eagles are put to the test in the Candy Danzig vs. George Leach case involving a dog attack between neighbors and the Karen Allen vs. Bill Ryan case, a traffic dispute focusing on a woman who was pulled over by a supposed police officer who turned out to be a coroner with no police authority. Attorney Roy Black hosts the 12 real life lawyers as they try real cases, in front of real judges and juries, for the grand prize of $250,000.
Join host Roy Black as the legal teams handle the Sabrina Belladonna vs. Jason Rosilli case involving a professional dominatrix and computer geek and the Brad Graves vs. Ronald Hicks case involving a Wanted Poster Prank turning two friends against each other.
The show moves from NBC to its sister network Bravo, as the remaining eight contestants are split into two teams to take opposing sides in a case involving a heated dispute between neighbors. Outside the courtroom, tempers also flare among the lawyers as personalities and strategies clash.
The six remaining contestants take on a custody case involving parents who share custody of their young son, and a charge of false arrest.
Only five contestants remain to be divided into teams to take opposing sites in a case challenging the qualifcations of a winning race horse.
Freedom of the press vs. privacy. A conservative religious straight man's picture is posted on a gay web site, and he sues. The case provides the backdrop for the three remaining lawyers to be cut to two.
