Strip Law is an American adult animated sitcom created by Cullen Crawford for Netflix. The series is set at a law firm in a heightened version of Las Vegas and stars the voices of Adam Scott, Janelle James, Stephen Root, Shannon Gisela, and Keith David.
Premise
[edit]Lincoln Gumb is a lawyer who is kicked out of his mother's law firm after her death and has to start his career over by building his own firm. He recruits a motley crew of employees and together they use their skills to fight cases.[1]
The series is set in a hyperexaggerated version of Las Vegas soaked in advertising, violence, sex, and gambling, and the tension between Lincoln playing things by the book and the anything-goes nature of Las Vegas juries and judges is a frequent plot focus.[2]
The series was inspired by a trip Crawford took to Las Vegas in which he and his companions noted that a large percentage of commercials they saw on the TV in their hotel room were for lawyers.[3]

Lincoln Gumb finds himself struggling to win cases in Las Vegas courtrooms where the jury and judge alike seem to care more about spectacle and entertainment than proper jurisprudence. Things go from bad to worse when Lincoln has to take on a case of a male strip club where the employees are fighting a clause in their contract forcing them to swallow metal keys if the clients demand it, and the club's owner is represented by Steve Nichols, the hotshot Vegas lawyer who fired Lincoln via TV commercial after his mother passed away. With only a day to prepare a case for the strippers and his law office struggling to stay afloat, Lincoln wanders the Vegas Strip until he comes across a street magician, Sheila Flambé, who leads him to figure out a strategy to win the favor of the judge and jury. Meanwhile, the firm's only other employees, Glem Blorchman and Irene Gumb, decide to keep the law office afloat by traveling around Vegas, collecting unpaid payments from former clients. | |||||
