* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:Vulanus briefly possesses Judy Prava and brags that she's his creation, then boasts that they'll either have to convict her or Laharl, but either choice results in chaos through which he can take control. However... He really shouldn't have admitted that he created Prava, since that gives Phoenix an opening by pointing out Prava's too young to prosecute, meaning the whole case is a mistrial to begin with. Cue all of Vulcanus' followers abandoning him since now they're in deep shit.]]

It was just another day for Phoenix as he was off to meet Maya at the air port, but things take a turn for the strange when a fourteen year old red headed girl in a skimpy outfit appears in his office requesting him for a case. Brushing the girl off as some role-player, Phoenix tells the girl to come back in a month and heads off for the air port... Or at least ''tries'', but is quickly cut short when the girl decides to use some more ''persuasive'' measures...

Phoenix soon wakes up with a slight headache, quickly noticing he's no longer in his office. It was then he notices the girl again... And more specifically, her demon like tail.

As it turns out, Etna had dragged Phoenix to the Netherworld because his expertise are needed for a case. Basically, Celestia has sent an ambassador to strike up a peaceful negotiation with Overlord Laharl, but was (of course) murdered before the deed could be done. Laharl, having found the body, is accused of the murder, and now needs a defense attorney to prove he didn't commit the act. Having heard of the lawyers ability to turnabout even the most hopeless of cases, he had picked Phoenix to be his attorney in the case. Though still a bit freaked out for basically being kidnapped to hell, Phoenix's strong sense of justice causes him to accept.

Things get even more complicated when a group the Celestian Security in the Netherworld ([[FunWithAcronyms CESENESQ for short]]) gets involved, lead by the demonness Judy Prava. The groups goal to keep peace in both the Netherworld and Celestia, they're not too keen on having a Celestian ambassador killed on their watch. The group is damn determined to find out whose at fault, with Prava serving as the Prosecutor on the case. Notably, Prava seems rather determined to prove that Laharl was at fault...

Now in a case unlike any other he's had before, Phoenix will have to rely on all his skills if he wants to prove Laharl's innocence. Little does the defense attorney know, there's a ''lot'' more riding on this case than just an innocent per-... Er, ''demon'' wrongfully being declared guilty...

* KangarooCourt: Laharl even notes how the Netherworld justice system was charged for this specific case, with one of the new rules being that the defendant is 'guilty until someone else is proven guilty'. Luckily though, Phoenix's usual judge was also picked for this case to give him a fair chance, though even ''he'' can't do anything about the above rule.

Adding \"Phlebotinum Breakdown\" entry.

Added DiffLines:

* PhlebotinumBreakdown: When Phoenix tries to use his magatama on Judy Prava in Episode 4, it reacts very strangely--the chains appear but not any Psych Locks, the usual music is distorted, the chains start disappearing and reappearing, an eerie green light starts flashing in the background, and after a few more seconds, the magatama view is canceled as though it was rejected. Phoenix himself even says it was unlike anything he'd ever seen before. [[spoiler:The magatama most likely reacted this way because as an artificial being, and only a few months old at that, she had very few memories to speak of, and nearly all of them were fake memories orchestrated by Crepuscule. Even the magatama would have trouble handling a psyche that distorted!]]

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Phoenix is quite taken off guard by the demons rather loose grasp on morality, ''especially'' with their council system. Though killing an ambassador is considered evil even by their standards.

* BribingYourWayToVictory: In-universe as usual when Laharl and Etna try to make Phoenix his official lawyer. Phoenix calls them out on it and takes an alternative by explaining to the senators about this position... while taking quite a long time. This goes as well as you'd expect with a "NAY!" Luckily, beating them up still manages to force them to give the approval. Phoenix is understandably distraught about the option but goes with it, since this ''is'' the Netherworld.

It was just another day for Phoenix as he was off to meet Maya at the air port, but things take a turn for the strange when a fourteen year old red headed girl in a skimpy outfit appears in his office requesting him for a case. Brushing the girl off as some role-player, Phoenix tells the girl to come back in a month and heads off for the air port...

Phoenix soon wakes up with a slight headache, quickly noticing he's no longer in his office. It was then he notices the girl again... And more specifically, her demon like tail.

As it turns out, Etna had dragged Phoenix to the Netherworld because his expertise are needed for a case. Basically, Celestia has sent an ambassador to strike up a peaceful negotiation with Overlord Laharl, but was (of course) murdered before the deed could be done. Laharl, having found the body, is accused of the murder, and now needs a defense attorney to prove he didn't commit the act. Having heard of the lawyers ability to turnabout even the most hopeless of cases, he had picked Phoenix to be his attorney in the case. Though still a bit freaked out for basically being kidnapped to hell, Phoenix's strong sense of justice causes him to accept.
