dozens of high-profile clients. But being a pawn of Big Law often means defending the corporate dirt bags of the world - the spillers, the drillers, and the killers.

So when Carney is suddenly asked by his firm's chairman to represent the plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit - and not, as usual, the corporate bad guys - he warily accepts. Maybe they're turning a corner, he thinks. And even if they aren't, when else has a junior partner been assigned such a major case, with a possible billion-dollar payout?
