Diana Torres-Walsh has been walking a path paved in blood for as long as she can remember. After some time apart, she and her adoptive brother, Connor Walsh, move to Philadelphia together when they enter the same college: Middleton, to law school. D...

"Unlike many of my colleagues, I will not teach you how to study the law or theorize about it, but how to practice it, in court, like a real lawyer," Annalise says. He turns to the curtain on the board and takes control. "Now, to the story of our first case" he clicks on the control.
An image of a man is projected in front of everyone along with the text.
The aspirin killer. Now, tell us the facts ... "he reads on the paper for a moment and then names:" Connor Walsh "
Diana watches Connor get up and, although she can only see his back, she clearly knows what smile he's putting on from being named first. It's going to be so obnoxious later.
"Commonwealth v. Gina Sadowski was an attempted murder case," Connor says in a calm, confident voice. "The defendant, Ms. Sadowski, worked as a second assistant to the victim, Arthur Kaufman, the executive director of an advertising agency. However, Ms. Sadowski was not only his assistant.

"So, we have established the actus reus. What is the mens rea? Wesley Gibbins?"
"The... mens rea?" the appointee babbles from the back row, obviously confused, "Uh, yeah, sure" starts flipping through his book.
"First day and you're not ready?"
"Not. I mean, um, yeah. Only ... I didn't know there was something I had to prepare "
