Outlaw — Season 1

In the premiere episode, playboy Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza has an epiphany -- which leads him to make a radical decision to step down and go into private practice. Garza's first case -- a last ditch attempt to save a condemned client from death -- tests his mettle and resolve as they have never been tested before. Aided by a legal team comprised of his best friend, respected defense attorney Al Druzinsky, loyal law clerk Mereta Stockman, Yale-educated and conservative Eddie Franks and sassy private eye Lucinda Pearl, Garza seems likely to make his mark as a legal crusader. However, by flouting the system and turning maverick, he may have made some dangerous enemies in very high places -- enemies who, even now, may be actively plotting against him.

Garza and his team head to Arizona when an immigration stop turns into a police shooting. Eddie agrees with the decision to take the controversial case, while Al wonders why he ever joined Garza's team. Meanwhile, Lucinda encourages Mereta to make her big move for Garza.

When a baby dies after being left in a hot car, Garza takes to the mother's defense under the Equal Protection Clause. However, saddled with an emotionally distant defendant, Garza might need more than Mereta and Al's help to prove his client's innocence. Meanwhile, Eddie and Lucinda branch off to cover one of Al's former clients.

Garza and his team fight to expose the truth about car accidents that are being caused by tire rod defects, but Al questions Garza's motives in taking the case. Elsewhere, Mereta prepares for her first day in court, Eddie scores an interview with a big law firm, and Lucinda takes on a new "job." Meanwhile, Claire tries to get Garza to mend fences with Senator Vidalin at a fundraiser, but Garza is hesitant to play nice while there is a mysterious man threatening the team.

Garza has to put personal differences aside when the daughter of his nemesis, Senator Sidney Vidalin, is unexpectedly charged with a murder that was committed by her boyfriend. The only thing that stands in Garza and Al's way is a confession, which might just be the result of a Miranda rights violation. Meanwhile, Eddie and Mereta dig into Lucinda's past and make a shocking discovery.

Mereta and Al find the perfect adoptive father for a foster child in need of an organ transplant, but their plan is derailed by a Florida law that prevents gay people from adopting and Garza and his team take the case. Elsewhere, a man from Lucinda's past makes his unwelcome presence known, and Eddie is forced to make a choice between the team and his own professional future.

When a gang shooting leaves a student dead at the Cyrus Garza School, Garza decides to file a lawsuit against the school for creating an atmosphere that led to the child's death. However, as Garza realizes the extent of the school system's segregation, it is up to him, Al and Mereta to file a class action to force the school district to finally desegregate the schools. Meanwhile, Eddie has to decide if he can trust Lucinda when she becomes the prime suspect in Buzzcut's murder.

After a Mexican judge decides to try a murderer himself, the victim's father kills the murderer in a blind rage. Now, Garza, Eddie and Lucinda must help facilitate the father's extradition back to the United States. Meanwhile, Mereta has a surprising legal problem that requires her to go to Al for help.
