Synopsis
John Hannah stars as the passionate and charming Jack Roper, who turned down a lucrative job offer from his mentor, Laurence Scammel QC, head of Manchester's leading prosecution chambers, in favour of more noble defence work.
Jack sets up his own firm with old friend and head clerk Al Ware, lovable risk taker Charlie Darling, no-nonsense lawyer Annie Quick and over-confident pupil Joe Stevens.
New Street Law provides a unique insight into the world of opposing legal teams and the people whose lives they hold in their hands.
