The show which was previously announced as merely in development took a major step toward getting on the air next season, reported Entertainment Weekly.
The synopsis for the show reads, "Set in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) Federal Court, aka 'The Mother Court,' this legal drama follows brand new lawyers working on opposite sides - for both the defense and the prosecution as they handle the most high profile and high stakes cases in the country, all as their personal lives intersect."
Rhimes and Betsy Beers will executive produce, while "Scandal" writer Paul William Davies will serve as showrunner.
