* GoodLawyersGoodClients: {{Defied}} in the first minutes of the show, when one of the cops asks why Butterfly took a case representing an obvious mass murderer when all it would do is damage their firm's reputation. The answer is that they're not in it for the money - implying that that means that it's their job to defend even the scummiest of scumbags.
* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler: Macal's plan of summoning Lucifer works, but this proves to be their downfall, since Lucifer doesn't care about Macal (or the relationship between humans and wuds) and has been living among humans for at least 6 years]] as [[spoiler: Moyo Tento.]]

* HelloAttorney: The folks at Butterfly sure are good-looking.
** This gets discussed a few times. While barristers are supposed to be well-dressed, Cecil is criticized for looking like a teen idol/{{cosplay}}.

* LimitedAnimation: The original broadcast of episode 11, "Shining Cecil", suffers from this to an ''amazing'' degree. That is, the parts that were animated in the first place and not consisting of a still screencap with audio played over it or part of the opening fight scene, which is animated normally. WordOfGod confirmed that the episode aired in it's original, unfinished state due to a lack of production time.

* SuperPowerLottery: Magic works this way. You can wind up with anything from clairvoyancy, to hyper destructive elemental powers, to being able to form a HumongousMecha from the metal surrounding you. Multiple powers are rare.
* SuperRegistrationAct: The Magic Prohibition Law. Having a court system for wizards seems pretty realistic when you think about it. Without a wizard law system they could probably just break out of prison, or kill the judges and the jury.
