In this reunion movie, also known as L.A. Law: Return to Justice, Leland McKenzie has retired and left Douglas Brackman, Jr. as the senior managing partner, while former partner Michael Kuzak, now a successful restaurant owner, goes up against old flame Grace Van Owen when he is called out of retirement to help stop the impeding execution of a former client on death row. Meanwhile, divorce lawyer Arnie Becker deals with his most toughest divorce: his own, where his estranged young wife has hired former McKenzie-Brackman lawyer Abby Perkins as her legal representation; Roxanne deals with her ex-husband, who claims that he's dying and wants to spend some quality time with her; and Ann and Stuart find themselves the victims of a scam artist. New employees to the firm are Brackman's over-achieving son Jason, and ambitious and conniving associate Chloe Carpenter.
