"It is you the people who are The Court of Last Resort! The Court of Last Resort is actually at work today, investigating cases throughout the United States," announces the narrator at the beginning of each episode. Established in the late 1940s, the Court was composed of seven experts in law and criminology (including Perry Mason's creator, Erle Stanley Gardner) who came together with the sole purpose of saving the lives of innocent people who had been convicted of murder.
