Defying convention, spirited nineteenth-century lawyer Sarah Woolson sets out to prove herself in her first criminal trial. Though her own law firm barely tolerates her and her mother begs her to settle down, plucky young attorney Sarah Woolson flouts notions of proper feminine behavior in this nineteenth-century answer to Legally Blonde .

Imagine, a woman lawyer in court!
