 The Atoner: Conti is still haunted by the fact that he inadvertently drove an innocent man to kill himself.

 Deconstruction

comment
 Deconstruction: The show is NOT afraid to demonstrate police incompetence or the corruption of higher officials. The first episode alone has a prominent member of the FBI being arrested for framing an innocent man, another has a prosecutor coaching witnesses to get a desired verdict, and several other episodes feature incompetent experts and or witnesses who either failed to remember properly or outright lied. "The Public Burning" also demonstrates that the typical ending where the innocent man is saved doesn't usually happen.

 Bluffing the Murderer

comment
 Bluffing the Murderer: Conti takes down the murderer in episode 4 by claiming that the judge allowed them to test the DNA on the murder weapon, and that the DNA matched the killer. The murderer falls for it and confesses, allowing them to test it for real.

comment
 Acquitted Too Late: In "The Public Burning" (since they may have gotten the killer despite failing to save the client) but also in Conti's background (he pressured an innocent man to confess). Later he turned out to be innocent, but had already killed himself. Conti admits that this is what drove him to join the National Justice Project.
