Fairly Legal
Created by Michael Sardo
On USA Network
A light legal dramedy centered on a mediator who solves others' conflicts with wit and empathy while struggling with her own, built on weekly case resolution and character charm rather than serialized stakes.
Kate Reed is a firm believer that justice can always be found – even if it's not always in the courtroom. Once a lawyer at her family's esteemed San Francisco firm, Kate's frustration with the legal system led her to a new career as a mediator. Thanks to her innate understanding of human nature, thorough legal knowledge, and wry sense of humor, Kate is a natural when it comes to dispute resolution. Except, it seems, when it comes to conflicts in her own life.
