==Plot Elements==
*The First Turnabout: Phoenix Wright, a newly hired defense attorney at the Fey & Co. law firm, agrees to represent his childhood friend Larry Butz, who has been charged with the murder of his girlfriend. With the help of his boss and mentor, Mia Fey, Phoenix proves that Frank Sahwit, the prosecution's star witness, is the real murderer.
*Turnabout Sisters: Mia is killed in her office shortly thereafter, and her younger sister Maya, a spirit medium in training, is arrested after the police find her name written on a note in Mia's blood. Phoenix takes her case, facing off against Miles Edgeworth, a skilled prosecutor Phoenix knows from childhood. Phoenix manages to identify Redd White, a professional blackmailer, as the real killer, only to find himself charged with the killing instead. Representing himself, Phoenix works with Maya, who uses her medium powers to channel Mia's spirit, and the two expose White in court and get justice for Mia. In gratitude, Maya becomes Phoenix's assistant as he takes over the law firm.
*Turnabout Samurai: His reputation established, Phoenix takes on another case, this time defending Will Powers, the lead actor in the Steel Samurai children's TV show, against accusations that he killed his co-star, Jack Hammer. It is revealed that Dee Vasquez, the show's producer, committed the murder in self-defense after Hammer tried to kill her and frame Powers for her death.
*Turnabout Goodbyes: On Christmas, Edgeworth is arrested for the murder of attorney Robert Hammond. After relenting for Phoenix's help after an initial refusal, Wright faces Edgeworth's mentor Manfred von Karma, who has not lost a single case in his forty-year career. Phoenix discovers that former bailiff Yanni Yogi shot Hammond with a gun provided by von Karma. Fifteen years earlier, Edgeworth's defense attorney father Gregory ruined von Karma's spotless record when he convinced a judge to penalize Karma for misconduct. Unable to deal with a blemish on his legacy, Karma murdered Gregory in cold blood, deceiving Miles into believing he was responsible. At the same time, Yogi was publicly blamed and convinced by Hammond, his attorney, to fake insanity, which got him acquitted of all charges at the cost of his social standing, leaving the case unsolved till that very day. Von Karma suffers a breakdown in court and confesses to the cover-up and Gregory's murder, and Edgeworth is released. Following the trial, Phoenix explains that Edgeworth motivated him to become an attorney after he defended Phoenix from a false theft accusation as children, to which Larry admits he was the true culprit. However, Edgeworth decided to become von Karma's pupil following his father's murder after being motivated by his hatred of criminals. Edgeworth decides to rethink whether or not he should resume his previous duties. Meanwhile, Maya returns to her home village to finish her spirit medium training.
*Rise from the Ashes: Phoenix is hired by teenager Ema Skye to defend her sister Lana, the head of the prosecutor's office, who is accused of murdering detective Bruce Goodman. Together with Ema, Phoenix traces the origins of the murder to an incident two years prior, when serial killer Joe Darke allegedly murdered prosecutor Neil Marshall while trying to escape custody, but also discovers a piece of evidence that implicates Ema as Marshall's killer. Police Chief Damon Gant attempts to force Phoenix into exposing Ema's guilt, but Phoenix tricks him into revealing that he actually murdered Marshall and tampered with the evidence to frame Ema so that he could blackmail Lana into doing his bidding; Gant subsequently confesses that he killed Goodman after he requested that the Joe Darke case be reopened and forced Lana to take the fall. Though Lana is cleared of murder charges, she agrees to resign from her post and face judgment as Gant's accomplice. With Ema being sent to Europe to continue training as a forensic investigator, Phoenix looks forward to continuing his career defending the innocent.
