To pay off her law school debts, Kerrie works in the public defender’s office at the Interspecies Court. Her workload includes more clients than she can defend, most of them from cultures she does not understand.
The public defender’s office loses almost all of its cases, but sometimes it gets a win. Kerrie thinks she has a winner. But does she? Or will winning the case mean she loses at everything else?

Kris, your lawyer fiction is always so factually spot on (even when they’re not in Earth courtrooms), I am constantly amazed. Another gripping story! Loved it!
Thank you, Robin. That means a lot coming from you. Much appreciated.
This was amazing. Please tell me that you plan to expand this into a book.
And, if you do, put me on the mailing list for it.
This is part of my Retrieval Artist series, Linda. There are 15 books, but none of them explore the legal side in detail. Yet. They will.
Thanks for the kind words!
Kris
I’ve been wondering how those 2 fared for a while (a bunch of years, actually, already). Mind you, bad as I am with names, I might know and not realize.
Take care.
I’ve got plans for them. I do know, just haven’t gotten to it yet…
You tease…
