Scales Of Justice
Synopsis:
The tight-knit cabal of editors at the Law Review at St. andrews, a third-rate law school in New Jersey, faces graduation with dismal employment prospects. But the situation looks up when a reactionary Supreme Court Justice is convinced to speak at the Review's annual dinner. Some of the budding lawyers oppose the invitation on ideological grounds, and the conflict grows increasingly bitter as gender politics, racial equality and questions on freedom of speech tear both friendships and careers apart. This controversial speaker is sure to put the students on the map -- but at what cost?
