Criminal Law
A rising young lawyer successfully defends a guy charged with murder, only for the same type of murder to occur again. The previously defended client immediately employs the attorney again, and despite the attorney's certainty that he is the murderer, he agrees to defend him once more... much to the horror of his friends. However, he says that by acting as his attorney, he will be better able to catch the man in the act... and this is how the rest of the film unfolds, with the killer and the attorney engaging in a cat and mouse game until they both come to see that they are not all that dissimilar.
