Frustrated with the legal system while working as a lawyer at her family's San Francisco firm, Kate Reed decides to stop practicing law and start a new career -- as a mediator. Kate's understanding of people, knowledge of the legal system and wry sense of humor make her a natural fit for resolving disputes. But not so much with disputes in her own life. Kate's resourceful assistant, Leonardo, helps her focus on work and avoid problems in her personal life, such as with her soon-to-be-ex-husband, Justin. But personal challenges and the unconventional cases on her docket will test her newly minted mediation skills.

I'm really not sure what I think of "Fairly Legal." I know this - star Sarah Shahi is easily the best thing about it. I know this too - the writing isn't so good. Shahi is beautiful and charming but the scripts for "Legal" are often cliched and forced. Go to Full Review Maureen Ryan HuffPost 03/16/2012

I can't say I loved this premiere but it certainly made me optimistic for the rest of the season. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide 03/16/2012
The banter is forced and precious, and the premise of the show remains rather fuzzy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
