That isn't even close to the Kangaroo Court trope. Reality Ensues has been replaced with Surprisingly Realistic Outcome so it can go there. I also alphabetized one trope too (a, an or the aren't considered for alphabetization).


* KangarooCourt: Emily advocating for a fair trial for her cases would usually be seen in a good light in other {{Law Procedural}}s. Problem is, she only adds more to the backlog of cases that could easily be done away with a signature, thus causing even more trouble at the DA's office and eventually at the Public Defender's office as well.



* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Sara gives a short one in ''The Perils of the Plea'' to Emily after the latter interrupted her story and blamed her for not thinking of the Black Lives Matter activists.
** "Bounceback" has several:
*** [[spoiler:Lola gets a crushing one from the jury foreman for interfering with the jury process by forcing the defendant to take a plea when they were going to acquit him. It ends with him saying that he hopes he never gets her for a judge if he is ever in court. To be fair however, his vague questions made her (as well as everyone around her) skeptical of the verdict.]]
*** [[spoiler:After Emily, following her client's wishes, goes after Lola in court, Sherry rips into her, saying that Lola has helped her and this isn't the way to repay her.]]
