In her final year of law school, Jill Hansen's greatest joy is representing criminal defendants in court through her school's criminal justice clinic. But when she's appointed to represent Carl, a handsome, charming man who's been charged with assault, she and her supervising professor face dangerous challenges and choices that could threaten their careers.
Jill's Trials, a courtroom drama, follows Jill's path from law school, to the public defender's office, to a prestigious law firm. She fights for her clients, victims of drug abuse and domestic violence, in a criminal justice system that is stacked against them. Her searing cross-examinations bring her success in the courtroom-but will her dedication to her clients and professional ambition come at the cost of poisoning her personal life?
