New Street Law strikes at the very heart of the modern-day legal system, providing a unique insight into the world of opposing legal teams and the people whose lives they hold in their hands. Julie Gardner, Executive Producer for the BBC, explains New Street Law's appeal. "As this smart and clever weekly series progresses, the character's pasts are unearthed through the gripping human interest stories that they deal with and the crises they face. It is through their professional dilemmas that we will gradually get to know and care about them as people." Nichola Shindler, of Red Production company, adds, "We've been able to attract such a great cast because of the complex and intersting characters who inhabit the world of New Street Law. this is a modern take on the legal drama with challenging weekly legal stories as well as compelling relationship development for our main characters." And GF Newman, of One Eyed Dog Productions, has this to say: "Sometimes the law is an ass, so too are some of its practitioners; but sometimes they are heroes who help to deliver justice."
