The File Of Justice

The Files of Justice follows a close-knit team of lawyers and the people who work around them as cases in Hong Kong courtrooms intersect with tense personal relationships. Each episode pairs a legal dispute with scenes from the lawyers' lives, so professional strategy and private loyalties influence one another. Michael Tao plays Jiang Chengyu, Bobby Au-yeung appears as Yu Choi Chun in his TV debut, and Jessica Hsuan, William So and Felix Lok round out the core group. The tone mixes procedural courtroom scenes with office politics, moral dilemmas and romantic friction, and episodes resolve particular cases without revealing long-term surprises or changing the series' central balance. The ensemble structure keeps attention on legal tactics as well as personal choices.

Produced by TVB, the series was created by 邓特希 and Szeto Kam-Yuen and premiered in 1992. The first season ran 13 episodes and the show eventually spanned five seasons, starring Michael Tao, Bobby Au-yeung, Jessica Hsuan, William So and Felix Lok.

As Bobby Au-yeung's TV debut, the show helped raise his profile and that of co-stars, and it reinforced the popularity of legal dramas on Hong Kong television. Its ensemble cast and emphasis on courtroom procedure became a reference point for later local series, and its recurring character dynamics stayed familiar to 1990s TVB audiences.

Critics and viewers have praised the show's brisk casework and energetic character interactions, though modern viewers might find some production values dated. Main themes include ethical gray areas in law, rivalry among colleagues, loyalty to clients, and how private relationships shape on-court strategy. The format mixes self-contained episodes with running personal subplots, keeping legal tactics front and center.

No major international awards are associated with the series in widely available records, but its steady popularity in Hong Kong kept it on the air for five seasons and helped launch several actors into long-running careers in regional television.
