The harsh reality of racism against Muslims is the issue in Nick Fallin's most recent case for Legal Services.
The parents of Perry Hudson, a young Caucasian male, are suing Ahmad Hassan, a Middle-Eastern restaurant owner,
for assault and battery. Ahmad broke Perry's hand with a bat after Perry vandalized and broke into Ahmad's
restaurant. Nick suggests that Ahmad counter with charges of a hate crime but Ahmad hesitates due to
the trouble it may bring. Then, the case takes on a new twist when Nick discovers that Ahmad's daughter, Salaam,
had recently broken off a relationship with Perry. Now the question becomes: was this crime motivated by hate or love?
Meanwhile, loyalties at Fallin & Assoc. are tested as one of the long-time partners, Larry Hines,
leaves the firm for one of Burton's biggest competitors, Kirk & McGee. Larry not only attempts
to steal clients but also tries poaching the associates at Fallin & Assoc., including Nick.
