Rake
On any single day, Cleaver Greene is described as many things. Whilst his ex-wife may call him 'unreliable', his son will call him 'a mate'. To his learned friends at the bar table he is 'a real wag', to his jurors he is 'hilarious', and to most judges he is 'an outrage'. To the Tax Office, he is 'a defendant', to a certain brothel owner 'a legend', and to his former cocaine dealer 'a tragic loss'.
Cleaver is presented by best friend and solicitor Barney with a case he can't resist - the defence of Professor Graham Murray, a world renowned economist accused of cannibalism and murder.
Cleaver and Barney attempt to badly defend Lucy Marx so that she may go to prison for jury tampering after her daughter is found guilty of murder.
Consumed with remorse after sleeping with his best friend's wife, Cleaver gets a needed distraction defending a famous chef charged with bigamy.
Cleaver takes on a case defending a once famous, but now homeless, artist accused of murdering a 15-year-old boy in a lane.
Cleaver prepares to defend family friend Dr. Bruce Chandler, when a very incriminating DVD finds its way to the local police.
Unable to resist her charms, Cleaver agrees to defend an old flame - now a successful radio shock jock Eddie Langhorn - who's charged with inciting racial hatred.
Attorney General Joe Sandilands is 'outed' as a brothel patron and is devastated by the scandal. Meanwhile, Cleaver is hit over the head during a botched robbery at a pharmacy.
Cleaver is forced to defend his loan shark Mick Corella on murder charges, and it means working with Barney again.
