Theodore Boone, a kind, independent child from Strattenburg, Pennsylvania, happens to go on a school trip to Washington D.C. Theo sees a notorious criminal in the metro, Pete Duffy, who has been accused of murder and hasn't been seen since his 1st trial in Strattenburg. Luckily, Theo is able to capture a video. Theo first informs his Uncle Ike Boone, and use a face recognition software, showing a high match likelihood. Later they go to the FBI, who bring them back to DC to aid in the manhunt, and Pete Duffy is finally brought to court inside of Strattenburg. There is a problem, however. The key witness, Bobby Escobar, an illegal immigrant, is afraid to testify in fear of being deported. Bobby reluctantly confesses, and Duffy is put behind bars for life.

Law firms are a common element of fictional depictions of legal practice. In legal drama, generally, they create opportunities to depict lawyers engaged in dramatic interactions that are reflective of the real-world drama of the profession. The portrayal of law firms varies by the media in which they are presented, with law firms in novels and in films being presented in a negative light, while law firms in television series tending to be presented more positively.

Dallas follows the trials of the wealthy Ewing family in the city of Dallas, Texas, which Pam has married into. Principal played Pam until the end of season 10 in 1987, when the character crashes her car into a truck carrying butane and propane and her body is severely burned. A year later, she was briefly played by actress Margaret Michaels in an attempt to write the character out. Pamela's storylines in season 1 focus on her relationship with her new husband, Bobby Ewing, and her fight against the considerable suspicion and hostility from within the Ewing family, due to Pamela being a member of the Barnes family. Pamela's love for Bobby remains a strong character trait throughout her tenure on the show, noted for its similarities to Romeo and Juliet, with two people from hostile families falling in love.
