You see her disdain for Family Law, preference for anything else.

We have an episode her Dad's funeral, inheritance, extort her mother, demand FL fire 2nd FL.
The audience is given a front row seat: 2nd FL at the beginning of her career, FL at the top of hers (17 years). Pasts, trauma, unravelling of prejudices by these two women.
