...eh?...
So...where's the GIANT in that flick?  Huh?
Don't be telling me that is a Giant in the title and then not coming across with the Giant in the Flick!
That's not right!

I bet there's not even a ninja either!

Dead Lawyers --
DreamWorks Television (Taken) produces this one-hour series with a deliciously judicious concept.
Sleazy unscrupulous lawyers, in order to redeem themselves, come back from the dead to defend everyone they screwed when they were alive -- and it's all pro bono!
When hotshot defense attorney Jimmy Quinn is run over by a bus, he finds himself in his own version of hell: a law firm on earth composed of other dead lawyers, all trying to right miscarriages of justice in order to redeem themselves.
Executive produced by The Zanuck Company and DreamWorks Television.
Distributed by USACE.
Story by Christopher Murphey and Andy Lieberman. Script by Murphey.

Actually, this one sounds kind of fun...

I got the information for that one directly from MY Lawyer, so I have to assume that it's legit!

A friend of mine refered to the concept as 'Touched by a Lawyer'!  Made me laugh!

[Weldon]

...discworld huh?
Not suprised.
He's a bit of clever.
