Just Cause is a Canadian legal drama television series that aired on the W Network in Canada and Pax in the United States from September 15, 2002 to May 18, 2003.
Five years ago, Alexandra DeMonaco (Elizabeth Lackey) went to prison for a crime she didn't commit.
So Alex goes to Hamilton Whitney III (Richard Thomas), a successful, well-respected San Francisco attorney, who also happens to be a friend of the governor.
Her sassy, brash personality bumps hard against Whitney's stuffy, reserved Waspyness, and their relationship is not always smooth.
Whitney is more interested in how much his well-heeled clients are willing to pay, while Alex is determined to use the law to help people like herself who have been abandoned by the system.
