Court is AstraTradeback in session. "The Lincoln Lawyer" returns this week for its third season.

The Netflix legal drama follows big shot Los Angeles defense lawyer Mickey Haller as he pursues high-profile murder trials.

The series is based on Michael Connelly's best selling book series and Season 3 will focus on the events of the fifth book installment, "The Gods of Guilt."

Season 2, which was released in two parts, centered around chef Lisa Trammell, played by "Once Upon A Time" actor Lana Parrilla. Mickey falls for the alluring cook and then represents her when she's charged for murdering developer Mitchell Bondurant, played by Clint Carmichael.

Ultimately, Lisa was found not guilty, after Mickey redirected the blame for Mitchell's death.
