Critic Reviews

Gloria Goodale

This is a good, old-fashioned legal procedural with few special effects but quite a lot of serious, adult writing. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Law revels in reckless, rude antiheroics. But Margulies also excels in giving her character emotional depth, with a tragic backstory and a rocky personal life involving a long-suffering husband (Aidan Quinn) and a hot private eye (James McCaffrey) on the side. Read full review

Misha Davenport

As Elizabeth Canterbury, Julianna Margulies is a feisty pit bull in designer heels. She's willing to do just about everything to clear her clients. If there's one fairy-tale aspect to the show, it's that she's able to take on only clients who are actually innocent. Read full review

San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa Times

Charlie McCollum

The series gets off to a reasonably strong start, propelled nicely by some decent (and, for network TV, hard-edged) writing and engaging performances by an above-average cast. Read full review

James Poniewozik

Margulies vanquishes her ER heroine image, but bad dialogue and dull legal stories undermine her case. Read full review

Hal Boedeker

Without Margulies, the case would be closed for Canterbury's Law. She gives the show a chance. Her biggest challenge will be overcoming the writing. Read full review

Ginia Bellafante

Ms. Margulies never recedes from the scripted egomania; she rams right through it. She remains shrill even in grief. Read full review

How can they possibly consider taking such a great show off the air? PLEASE reconsider!!!! We(varied ages) at our house love the show and hunger for more of the Canterbury mojo!
