LatestKeegan must use a highly unusual tactic to defend a new client and his mother, who both confess to committing the same murder in order to protect the other. Meanwhile, as a result of Finn's school auction, Keegan is stuck with Louis, an annoying boy whose father was the only bidder on the "A Day with a Lawyer" auction item. Also, Keegan discovers that Mikki is dating someone he knows.

He always tries to do the right thing, but at the same time struggles to save himself from the many self-destructive elements that plague his own life, including women and gambling.
