About In Contempt
Working for a legal aid office in New York City, Gwen Sullivan fights for clients who can't afford to choose their own attorney. The passion she has for her job and for those she represents has cemented the rebellious and wildly outspoken Sullivan as arguably the most talented public defender in her district. Along with the complicated cases she tackles in a hurried environment, Gwen must also manage various distractions at the office, including working with her ex, newly appointed supervisor Charlie Riggs, whose extraordinary talent in the courtroom is only matched by his outsized ego, and Earl, her stern, hard-to-please father, a former judge.

Bristol grandma climbs M25 gantry in 'climate emergency' protest
A 76-year-old grandmother climbed a motorway gantry in protest against the " climate emergency" not being taken serious enough, a High Court has heard.
Retired teacher Gaie Delap, from Bristol, took part in a Just Stop Oil protest on the M25 in November 2022.
She Said a policeman had greeted her with " some surprise".
Ms Delap is one of 12 Stop Oil protesters accused of breaching a court injunction aimed at restricting protest and disruption on the motorway.
Mr Justice Soole is overseeing a hearing at The High Court in London which is expected to end later This Week .
She told The Judge on Tuesday that she did it for The Future of her grandchildren.
Ms Delap, A Mother of two, said she had been given climbing training by a Just Stop Oil mentor before taking part in the protest.
Lawyers representing National Highways said protesters caused " considerable delays" and were In Contempt of court.
Ms Delap said she was unaware that an injunction was in place and apologised - other defendants said the same.
She told The Judge she had joined the protest after Just Stop Oil called for volunteers.
" I Heard a Just Stop Oil Zoom call for climbers to volunteer, " Ms Delap said.
" I thought, well, I Am 76, I have never had any climbing experience, I didn't think I had to volunteer for that. But it went onto my mind and stayed there.
" I then followed it up with an inquiry about how I might get involved. "
Ms Delap, Who Said demonstrators had gone to a " safe house" The Night before the protest, said she had climbed a ladder and sat on the gantry.
Ms Delap added: " Why did I do it?
" My heart is breaking for The Future of my six grandchildren and all Future Generations . "
She told The Judge that Just Stop Oil wanted the government to " stop new oil and gas" and said " the climate emergency is a serious issue and it has not been taken seriously enough".
Others protesters accused of contempt at the hearing in The Royal Courts of Justice, in London, are: Charlotte Kirin, 54; Daniel Johnson , 25; Joseph Linhart, 22; Luke Elson, 30; Mair Bain, 36; Paul Bell , 23; Rosemary Jackson, 25; and Theresa Higginson, 25.
