Innocency of Life: A woman who accuses a priest of sexual assault goes on trial for the murder of her husband. Dead Reckoning: Who's to blame when five men drown? The negligent boat owner?

Bearing Witness
Kavanagh strives to defend a Jehovah's Witness mother (Deborah Findlay - State of Play), who forbids a blood transfusion for her son, against the hospital that sues her in order to treat the boy.

Innocency of Life
One case leads to another after a woman who accuses a priest of sexual assault is suddenly put on trial for the murder of her husband.

Dead Reckoning
After a boat sinks and five young men lose their lives, Kavanagh prosecutes the trawler owner (Kenneth Cranham - Valkyrie) who insists that the vessel collided with a submerged submarine - and the Ministry of Defence is covering it up.

Memento Mori
When a mild-mannered doctor (Tom Courtenay - The Golden Compass) is accused of poisoning his manic-depressive wife, Kavanagh must diagnose the truth behind the crime.

Care in the Community
A case involving a dead baby and two unfit parents provokes the angriest of emotions in those who want to see everyone involved locked up for good... including Kavanagh himself.

Briefs Trooping Gaily
Kavanagh struggles to defend a woman charged with murdering her abusive husband - but she refuses to co-operate in any way, insisting that she is guilty.

Previous Convictions
Kavanagh is required to defend an idealistic young woman charged with murder after an RAF plane crashes into a packed motocross event.

The More Loving One
Kavanagh is puzzled by the reluctance of his client, a young man (Hugh Dancy - King Arthur) charged with killing his drug-addict girlfriend, to explain what happened when she died in an explosion at their flat.

Time of Need
Kavanagh represents a Home Office Minister (Penelope Wilton - Half Broken Things) who brings a case for malicious prosecution against the police after she is found not guilty of indecent assault on a young man.

End Games
At an appeal, Kavanagh argues for a man imprisoned for murder years earlier, when he was negligently defended by an arrogant barrister whose junior was one James Kavanagh...
