When this was shown on TV I was a lefty law student and was, by definition, interested in a programme about legal services for the community rather than profit. The series had a strong cast of established and emerging actors including a young Julie Peasgood. Ms P featured in one of the strongest of routinely strong storylines concerning rape and the problems, real and imagined, in prosecuting that crime. I use the word 'imagined' as imagined fears on the part of prosecutors account for much of the high attrition rate of cases not even reaching trial. I mention this as the scriptwriters in The Law Centre were not afraid to raise issues, and the cast handled them really rather powerfully. It is a shame that there was only one series and a bigger shame that it has never been repeated or released on DVD. Quality television.
