Synopsis:
A broad look at America's love/hate relationship with lawyers and our fascination with suing each other. While our main characters will be busy descending into the hell that is the California Bar Exam, a dazzling array of hilarious comedians will regale us with witty repartee about lawyers, frivolous lawsuits, and litigiousness in America.
Director's Bio:
