Above the Law pulls back the curtain on this shadow economy through the eyes of ADA Jessica Warren, who stumbles upon a brokerage system where outcomes are negotiated like commodities. As Warren investigates, she discovers established price points ($50,000 for probation, $250,000 for acquittal) and a network of middlemen attorneys who facilitate these transactions with chilling efficiency.
