Canterbury's Law is an American legal drama television series, which aired from March 10 to April 18, 2008 as a mid-season replacement on Fox. The show was created by Dave Erickson and executive produced by Denis Leary, Jim Serpico, Walon Green, John Kane, and Mike Figgis, who also directed the pilot. The series revolved around Elizabeth Canterbury (portrayed by Julianna Margulies), a rebellious defense attorney willing to bend the law if it protects the wrongfully accused. A rising star, she puts her career on the line to take on risky and unpopular cases, even when they take a toll on her personal life.
Produced by Sony Pictures Television and Apostle, the series aired Mondays at 9:00 pm and was broadcast in Australia and Canada on Nine Network and Global respectively. Due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, only 6 of the 13 episodes ordered were able to be produced.
On March 20, 2008, Fox announced that Canterbury's Law would move to the Friday 9:00 pm slot for the remaining episodes.
On May 15, 2008, Fox officially canceled the series.
Elizabeth and her law professor husband, Matthew (Aidan Quinn), are both haunted by the disappearance of their young son (Jeremy Zorek) and have just settled in Providence, Rhode Island, in an attempt to distance themselves from the tragedy and put their relationship back together. But even as they try to move on beyond the tragedy, those goals become elusive whenever Elizabeth's work provides a stark reminder of the justice absent in their own lives.
