"Just Legal" is a fast-paced procedural drama with humor starring Jay Baruchel ("Undeclared," "Million Dollar Baby") and Don Johnson ("Miami Vice," "Nash Bridges") as lawyers who save their clients, and in the process, save themselves. David "Skip" Ross (Baruchel), 19, a brilliant legal prodigy, dreams of becoming a great trial lawyer. When he can´t land a job at a prestigious L.A. firm because he´s too young, Skip ends up working for Grant Cooper (Johnson). Once a great lawyer, now burnt-out by the realities of life, Cooper is barely scraping by in his beachfront law office. Together, Skip and Cooper become defenders of the accused and crusaders for the unjustly wronged. Their cases vary from stories ripped from today´s headlines to clever mysteries with procedural twists. [From The WB´s official press release at the May network upfronts for next season (2005-06)]

As of now, "Just Legal" has a 13 episode order from The WB, and is set to air Mondays at 9pm ET this fall.
