Honorable Judge Harry T. Stone is a young, hip, jeans-wearing liberal eccentric presiding over the night shift of a Manhattan courtroom -- which means his views on various cases aren't always normal, nor are his judgments. Helping him manage the chaos is not-so-bright yet softhearted courtroom guard Bull and egotistical prosecutor Dan Fielding. Also part of Stone's crew are passionate public defender Christine Sullivan and calm court clerk Mac, who joined the show in its third and second seasons, respectively.

Bull's menacing appearance works against him when he applies for a position as a volunteer father.

Harry is shaken up when he receives a death threat then finds a bomb in his chair, and a psychiatric patient claiming to be God roams the halls.

A determined prostitute pursues Harry, much to Lana's disapproval.

Dan is infuriated when he discovers his attractive assistant is dating other men -- including Harry and Bull.
