John Smallwood does murder. Liz Gaynor does sex offences. Leanne Warren does both. And they all work FOR THE DEFENCE.

Through unprecedented access to their lives, FOR THE DEFENCE observes criminal defence work through the eyes of three leading criminal defence lawyers. Their case load covers everything from unpaid parking fines to murder and rape.

Witnessing them at work and home as they deal with clients and their charges, this documentary provides an intimate portrait of these key players in the criminal justice system and others who participate in it willingly or otherwise.
