Golden Future of Law

Golden Future of Law is the third book in the series by the same name. It is written by AceAttorneyFan . There is no strict plot line, although most of the story does revolve around a car crash that occurred six years prior to the events of the story.

## Cases

### Turnabout Sunshine

Tenniswood's first case as a lawyer. She, alongside her boss Cotoli Morix, defend teenager Ini Cent for the murder of Sebastian Bones, a musician in the defendant's favourite band the Seven Sea Pirates. The lawyers meet and face off against local prosecutor Vito Cruz, whose quick temper swiftly becomes a problem.

### Turnabout of the Spirits

Tenniswood and Lily Shield defend Matsuzaki Taikan, the son of the master of a channeling group known as the Taikan clan. Vito is once again the prosecutor for the case and it is soon revealed that the culprit behind the muder might have a closer relation to the defendant than was originally thought.

### The Orphaned Turnabout

Tenniswood's childhood friend, Tia Pennydrop, is accused of murdering Christopher Hampton at the orphanage in which Tenniswood used to live. Vito faces Tenniswood for the third time in this case, however the two begin to form a friendship of sorts throughout this case.

### Flames of the Turnabout

Tenniswood is accused of killing Harry Hunter, a criminal who murdered the lawyer's family in a car crash when she was thirteen years old. Cotoli and Lily take on her defense, although Vito refuses to prosecute the case as because Tenniswood is the defendant. A prosecutor named Dominic Forge is instead left to prosecute the case, making the lawyer's jobs much harder.

### Turnabout Paradox

Dominic Forge's body is found at the Prosecutor's Office and prosecutor's assistant Anton Burke is accused of the murder. Tenniswood, Chrysalis Starr and Yuri Rinko defend him for the crime, while facing off against rookie prosecutor's assistant Niamh Wood. The protagonists soon discover that locating the culprit will be trickier than usual, as even the 'culprit' has no idea of their actions.

## Main Characters

**Niamh Tenniswood** - The main character and a new employee at Morix Law Offices. She joins the agency at the age of nineteen. Along with her emotion-sensitive hearing, she studied psychology alongside law, meaning that she can hear discord in the voices of others. Tenniswood is a serious and mature character who is not so easily flustered.

**Vito Cruz** - Tenniswood's hot-headed rival prosecutor. He appears out of the blue during *Turnabout Sunshine*, and proceeds to face off against Tenniswood in the courtroom for the first three cases. While the two's relationship gets off to a rocky start, they get used to each other over time and even begin dating at the end of *Turnabout Paradox*.

**Scott Hunter** - The main detective in the story and Vito's investigative partner. Scott often acts as Vito's emotional anchor, calming down the latter when he lets his bad attitude get the better of him. He has a bat habit of calling people 'chum', but means well. He cares for the people around him, which is evident in *Flames of the Turnabout*, when he committed perjury in an attempt to rescue Tenniswood from a false murder conviction.

**Cotoli Morix** - The cool-headed owner of Morix Law Offices. He assists Tenniswood in her first case during *Turnabout Sunshine* and acts as her defense during Flames of the Turnabout. He is an expert attorney and one the other lawyers look up to greatly.

**Lily Shield** - An employee at Morix Law Offices. She assists Tenniswood in the second case *Turnabout of the Spirits* due to being a spirit medium herself. Her Magatama allows her to see Psyche-Locks. Despite her bubbly and cheerful nature, she has an illness which causes coughing fits.

**Lucas Red** - An employee at Morix Law Offices. He assists Tenniswood in the third case, *The Orphaned Turnabout*.

**Maria Tenniswood** - The older sister of the newbie lawyer, Niamh Tenniswood. She anonymously appears via spirit channeling in *Turnabout of the Spirits*, although the reasons for her death are not explained until *Flames of the Turnabout*: she, along with her parents, perished in a car crash six years before the events of the story. She plays an important role in the aforementioned fourth case.

**Polly Bloom** - A strict prosecutor who works in the local district and the adoptive mother of Anton Burke. Despite not being the main prosecutor in *Turnabout Paradox*, she still investigates the crime in hopes of releasing Anton from a false charge. She is the first to suspect 'Wood' of any wrongdoing.

**Anton Burke** - A prosecutor's assistant and Polly's adopted son. He is the defendant in *Turnabout Paradox*, as his name was found written and blood and his fingerprints were on the murder weapon. However, both of those pieces of evidence were fake, which lead to his innocence being proven.

**Ghastly Bespoke** - The Chief Prosecutor of the local district. He, alongside Niamh Wood, request Anton's defence in *Turnabout Paradox*. In the case, he and Sora Lin witness 'Wood' destroying the scene of the crime. He is close friends with Cotoli Morix.

**Sora Lin** - A prosecutor in the local district. She plays a minor role in *Turnabout Paradox*, discovering the body at the start of the case and witnessing 'Wood' destroy the crime scene in order to get rid of evidence. She was unable to watch the trial as she was at risk of her own alter ego coming out.

**Chrysalis Starr** - The youngest half-sister of Cotoli Morix. When 'Wood's alibi turns out to be a lie, she questions the young prosecutor only to find a completely different person in her place. She is attacked by Alon-Z, one of 'Wood's four pet hamsters, which allows her to prove the alter ego guilty later.

**Yuri Rinko** - A defense team assistant who works at Morix Law Offices. She is a friend of Anton's, which lead to her assisting in his case in *Turnabout Paradox*. Amusingly, she is the only one on the defense team to not be attacked by one of Nevada's hamsters in the case, instead calling them 'cute'.

**Niamh Wood** - A prosecutor's assistant who recently joined the Prosecutor's Office. She was adopted by the Chief Prosecutor shortly after her arrival. She takes on the case of Anton Burke during the fifth case, completely unaware of the connection she shares with the case.

**Nevada Wood** - Niamh Wood's mysterious and murderous alter ego. Her sole appearence in this story is in the fifth case, *Turnabout Paradox*, as the culprit behind Dominic Forge's murder. She has four pet hamsters, which she calls the Four Dark Devas of Destruction. She is locked away in Wood's subconscious at the end of the case, seemingly never to return.
