Bull mounts the defense of an idealistic state judge, Judge Duggan (Kelcy Griffin), who's on trial for obstruction of justice after she helped a trial witness evade federal arrest in her courtroom. During voir dire, Benny looks for jurors who believe the law is open to interpretation and that Judge Duggan broke the law to uphold courtrooms as sacred spaces within the justice system.

Bull aims to win over a federal jury without the use of hard evidence when TAC represents Hank Alston, a child recovery agent charged with fraud for not having documented proof of his covert work. Also, Izzy wants Benny to consider hitting back at his opponent in the District Attorney race when the other candidate engages in mudslinging before an important debate
