[edit] Show premise

There are many procedural shows on television about solving crimes and prosecuting wrongdoers. In Justice adds an interesting twist to the common drama—it focuses on freeing wrongly convicted criminals. Kyle MacLachlan (of the cult series Twin Peaks) stars as David Swain, the head of a high-profile organization called the National Justice Project (commonly abbreviated as "NJP") in the San Francisco Bay Area, along with his partner, Charles Conti (portrayed by Jason O'Mara). Members of the National Justice Project work together to overturn wrongful convictions, liberate the falsely accused and discover the identity of those who are really to blame. Although the NJP is fictional, there are organizations which examine cases involving people who may have been wrongly convicted (e.g. the Innocence Project).

Each new episode starts out with "what the jury believed", usually a scene in which the person who was wrongly convicted acts out the crime. Throughout the show, David and Charles unravel many clues to how and why the person they are trying to exonerate was convicted in the first place.

Each episode revolves around separate cases and addresses the various reasons for miscarriage of justice. The progress in the show relies less on the famous but largely fictious forensic procedures used in the CSI franchise and other procedural shows. The show also focus on the tragedy inflicted on wrongly accused people and their families, even tough the show is ficticous and not ment to reflect real persons or events.
