Knights of Justice focuses on an up and coming defense attorney partnership in the fictional town of Albright. It stars Trista Delisle and Curtis Haines, as Crysta Griffyn and Felix Levtt respectively. Griffyn is the hot-headed, bad-tempered side of the partnership, while Levtt is the reserved and careful half. The show revolves around the courtroom, and the trial itself, whilst cutting out to the crime scenes themselves regularly. Story arcs are generally referred to as "Cases", and are generally a few episodes in length.

Characters

Crysta Griffyn (Trista Delisle)

Crysta Griffyn is 29 years old, and is the firey tempered "she-devil of the courts". In her first few years as a defense attorney she was unbeaten. As of late however, she has begun to spiral downwards, and her loss count is racking up. Crysta can often be abrasive to the people working with her.

Felix Levtt (Curtis Haines)

Felix Levtt is a 20 year old rookie attorney and feels he has much to learn yet of courtroom proceedings. He tends to keep to himself but often has wild ideas that can lead to progress in a case. Felix suffers from red-green colourblindness.

May Fay (Hilary Drummond)

May Fay is a good friend of Griffyn and Levtt and often assists them investigating cases. She is a Zedem Ascetic, and can often connect to the spirit world to communicate with the deceased to find out vital information.

River Gordon (Benjamin Wright)

River Gordon is the country's best prosecutor, and has a perfect win record. Gordon is said to be the reason for Crysta's downfall, but only Crysta and Gordon are such as to the exact reasons.

Carolyn Pierce (Bernice Summers)

Carolyn Pierce is a relatively unknown prosecutor having recently moved to Albright, but the cases she's been involved in have impressively all reached guilty verdicts. She is touted as "the next Gordon" and thinks of herself as a sassy business woman who can get any job done.

Detective Phillip Marone (Clyde Parker)

Detective Phillip Marone is the man in charge of homicide investigation in Albright. He's quick to conclusions, but no so much with anything else. He is both an ally and an obstacle in the heroes path to justice.

Judge Kenneth Kasey (Ian Armand)

Judge Kasey is a traditional man, and a strong-hearted judge. He's been the head of court proceedings in Albright for many, many years and doesn't plan on it changing any time soon. He may be quite old but his memory is sharp as ever.
