\n\nKole and Jala, at long last, continue their discussion of the Phoenix Wright series by taking a look at "Justice for All", the arguable sophomore slump of the series. Phoenix is back at the table, Miles is nowhere to be found, and we're instead facing off against the child prodigy Franziska von Karma. The cases are a little all over the place, but we welcome the addition of the Psyche Locks, which add much more interest to the investigation portions of the chapters.
