Synopsis: Of all the law related dramas inside and outside of the country, a majority of lawyers are depicted as heroes, either bringing tears to your eyes helping the weak underdog, or trying to advocate justice to the extreme. This has led the general public to view lawyers with eyes of respect and envy.However, the main character of "Legal High!!" stands miles away from that stereotypical identity of a lawyer. Komikado Kensuke is stubborn, abusive in his language, sarcastic, moody, and an extravagant spender. To the contrary, he has never lost a case in his life. A genius at bargaining and building strategy, winning is everything to Kensuke. His love for money, fame, and women obviously collects the dislikes of other professionals in the field. Kensuke loathes the textbook of justice the young lawyers try to brandish.
Unexpectedly, Mayuzumi Machiko is a lawyer who passed her bar exam through hard studies. She is overly earnest in her mission of saving the weak, and rather clumsy and incapable of planning ahead. Her lack of versatility and strong righteousness drives her reckless, without compromise to her convictions. Passionate and determined, she is the complete opposite of Kensuke's character.
"Justice is the winner," Kensuke stands by this belief without doubt. Despite the skepticism he receives for his sensational efforts, the people surrounding him begin to see that their view was but a pipe dream. In the courtroom, Kensuke reminds us of the feeling we had all forgotten: To fight with all our energy and to never give up.

p.s. read at your own risks. spoilers coming up.
i just finished this drama and i really enjoyed it. i don't know about the laws and i think some were exaggerated at some point, it should have as this is a drama. but everything's perfect. the story's fine for me. it's not dragging and we see something new every episode. no dramatic sequence (that they repeat every episode) for the climax or anything. no uber dramatic stuff unless you dig so deep or read too much between the lines and find meaning to everything.
the acting is superb. what can i say? Sakai is awesome. Namase is awesome. flawless cast is flawless. that actor who played Ide, he's Tori and Emi's brother/Yuki's 2nd son in GOLD! that's why he looks familiar. and i need to remember Koike Eiko's name, i remember her only for her large boobies and fab figure and have always thought her name's Eriko (lols, atleast it sounds like Eiko).
i think the last episode's a joke. and i think they also made it as a joke. XD
My Ratings: i'll give this 9.5/10 :)
