Raising the Bar: Rules of Engagement

Jerry and Michelle go before a new judge whose courtroom rules are so draconian they make Judge Kessler’s rules seem quaint by comparison. During the case, Michelle becomes smitten with a handsome cop who may be perjuring himself in order to cover up for a bad arrest. Richard defends a pair of elderly twins accused of forging a signature on their dead roommate’s welfare check, but the two gentlemen don’t seem to understand the gravity of the situation. Marcus scores a date with the borough president’s chief of staff, who also happened to be the head juror on a case Marcus lost the week before.
