Survivor's Law (Traditional Chinese: 律政新人王) is a 25-episode TVB drama broadcast between July 14, 2003 to August 15, 2003.
Owner Homer Hong Dingwei (Lok Ying Kwan), a lawyer who had his license removed for offending the judge, has no choice but to recruit fresh law graduates to revamp the firm.
Ben Lok (Raymond Lam) had been sacked by his previous employer because of his unconventional image and attitude.
Chung Ching-Ling (Myolie Wu), ostracized at the previous law firm for her passionate and righteous ways, decides to make her career in H.K.
Furious at being denied the chance to ever meet her real mother, she leaves home and starts living with Jessica instead.
In a case dealing with corporations trying to take more money from their customers, Vincent and Jessica work together and he teaches her to be more confident and sure of herself.
When they win the case, Jessica wants to give Vincent a hug, but when he holds out his hands for a high-five instead she accepts it.
He first intended to play the role of a son and not a lawyer, but after a while could not resist pointing out to the judge several laws that could work to his family's favour.
They convince the innocent man not to flee and instead report to the police - headed by none other than Vincent's father.
Meanwhile, Ben falls for Ching-Ling, but he holds back when it is revealed that she is starting a relationship with Vincent.
Vincent's ambitions and Ching-Ling's sense of justice soon came to a clash when he illegally disturbed the prosecution witnesses in the hopes of winning his own cases.
Ben's client was accused of murder, but he wasn't responsible because at that time, he was helping smuggle drugs.
In Vincent's eyes, drug smugglers were the scum of society and nowhere as important as a police officers, so he couldn't see why Ben was so intent on helping them.
Homer granted it to him, deciding he needed some time to recover from losing both a father and love interest.
The inmate told Ben that he heard from one of the other prisoners that a man named 'Saw-Pao' (Literally 'Crazy Leopard') was responsible for the crime he was imprisoned for.
With Jessica's help, Ben reviews over the case, and sees that the sole witness to the crime was Ching-Ling herself.
For appeal grounds, Ben shows how there was evidence of a third party due to blood found on the crime scene that did not belong to anyone identified.
Ben pointed out that the crime occurred at night and there were no lights around so she couldn't have seen the face of the culprit.
The court and Ching-Ling realized that they had sentenced the wrong person, and Ben's friend was finally released.
Not wanting to sink to his level, Ben tried to look for more evidence, and soon found a driver that could testify Saw-Pao was present on the day of the crime.
Things were only made worst when Saw-Pao cornered Ching-Ling and graphically described how he killed her best friend, traumatizing her.
Vincent watched as Saw-Pao picked up his cell phone and started talking about how his lackeys should treat Jessica.
Frightened and enraged, Vincent picks up the gun and shoots Saw-Pao in the head - right in front of the bartender.
As it turns out, Jessica was not kidnapped or harmed at all, Saw-Pao was simply lying to blackmail Vincent.
