Junior corporate lawyer Nick Case shares his insights regarding his competitive relationship with best bud and roommate Jake Galvin, a likable former attorney who jettisons his career for a more noble teaching profession. Jake struggles against classroom bureaucracy to connect with his students – as well as with an attractive fellow teacher.
Jake Galvin gives up his law career to become a high school English teacher.
Jake tries to connect with a student who hides his intelligence due to peer pressure. He also tries to do a favor for Liza, which backfires.
Jake has to decide between stopping an after school fight between two students and spending a couple hours with Nick and Liza at Michael Jordan's mansion.
Jake has a one night stand with a single mother and continues the relationship to be a good role model.
Jake inadvertently discourages a student's dream to become a lawyer. Nick tells Jake that Liza used to be married.
Dealing with the information that Liza's ex is coming to town, Nick convinces Jake to have a party. It's no ordinary party though. It's a Bankhead party, which is really an elaborate prank played on an annoying co-worker.
After receiving a disappointing performance review, Jake decides to quit teaching and return to the law firm.
