Here is the plot description for “Franklin & Bash”:
“Franklin & Bash” is a buddy lawyer series starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar (“NYPD Blue”) and Breckin Meyer (“Rat Race,” “Robot Chicken”) as two young, fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants street lawyers who cause a seismic culture clash when they join a legendary, button-down law firm.
Meyer plays Jared Franklin. He loves sticking it to authority every chance he gets. Whether they’re kicking back at their favorite hot dog stand, chasing down their latest clients (sometimes literally) or kissing their witness on the stand, this dynamic duo shows their flair for the dramatic and the shocking.
With business cards in hand, they’re ready to nab a client within seconds after a car accident, arrest for solicitation or any other incident where their legal services may be needed. Gosselaar as Peter, on the other hand, has a knack for connecting with the jury and judge. Despite their bad-boy antics, brash presentation and devil-may-care attitudes, Jared and Peter are good lawyers who are willing to do anything for a client no matter who the client might be.
That quality catches the attention of Stanton Infeld (Malcolm McDowell): a Renaissance man and the patriarch of Infeld Daniels (one of the top law firms in Los Angeles). He sees a lot of himself in the young men and recruits the pair to bring a fresh energy to the firm. Jared and Peter are joined by their two legal aides: the brilliant and brassy Carmen (Dana Davis) and the agoraphobic, verminophobic Pindar (Kumail Nanjiani).
Infeld’s decision to take on fresh talent doesn’t sit well with his nephew, Damien Karp (Reed Diamond). He’s a lawyer who has his own plans for the firm and a particularly shifty way of doing business. The arrival of Jared and Peter also threatens Karp’s romantic (albeit celibate) relationship with Hanna Linden (Garcelle Beauvais). She’s a lawyer who takes an immediate liking to Jared.
In their new digs at Infeld Daniels, Jared and Peter handle a variety of clients from a woman fired for being too beautiful to a family feud over a cherished baseball. But their story is really about the incredible friendship they’ve built and how their relationship is challenged now that they find themselves working in a more corporate atmosphere. Only time will tell if these devoted buddies can survive in this new environment.

Rules
Sometimes there are gray areas and rules need to be altered/bent/broken. Not good to be rigid all the time.
Rules
They are meant to be obeyed in certain situations and will be unbreakable, like not passing in front of a funeral procession or not obeying the golden rule.
Then there are rules than were meant to be bent, like the breakfast rule at Mcdonalds, or mixing money and family.
Then are rules that were never meant to be obeyed in the first place, like any law that discriminates on the basis of gender, race, or religion.
Rules
Rules are made to be followed. However, there are always going to be stiuations which warrant a rule being bent or even broken. Sometimes, if the rule is broken, a new rule is then put into effect.
Bent
A rule can’t apply to everything. There are always extenuating circumstances that can change a situation.
Are rules made to be followed, bent or broken?
It all depends on who made the rules. For who’s interest?,for what reasons?,or
what motives?. There are many,many rules,sometimes too many,some good,some bad,some confusing.Regardless either way there will always be someone who will bent,break,with some who will follow them.Then there will also be someone who tries to change them.Usually Politicians,Dictators,the corrupt,the powerful,and
wealthy,sometimes all of them.They are the ones that think that the rules are for
everyone else to follow,they are the exception to those rules.
