Last week, Hollywood trade publications reported that CBS is developing a legal drama inspired by famed uber-lawyer and legal commentator Gloria Allred, best known for her representation of female clients in high-profile cases involving Michael Jackson, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the family of Nicole Brown Simpson.
Deborah Schoeneman (“The Newsroom”), Peter Principato (“Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp”) and Paul Young (“Married”) serve as executive producers.
