Synopsis: And Justice for All
Arthur Kirkland (Pacino) is a young lawyer full of passion and righteousness. Dealing with an antiquated and unjust tribunal, coping with a partner on the verge of a nervous breakdown, caring for an ill grandfather and trying to save a fledgling relationship, Arthur is thrown for an even greater loop when he is forced to defend Henry T. Fleming (John Forsythe – TV’s Dynasty and Charlie’s Angeles), a judge guilty of sadistically raping and beating a woman. Despite his deep dislike of the judge, Arthur must represent him in court or risk being debarred. He has no choice but to carefully navigate his way within the corrupt legal system without losing his morals, sense of worth or beliefs.
 Synopsis: Bobby Deerfield
