In her quest to bring order and dignity to the court and reign in its colorful crew of oddballs, she enlists former night court district attorney Dan Fielding to serve as the court\u2019s public defender. Still exceedingly self-confident, Fielding must adjust to a new boss and a new job \u2013 defending the downtrodden. And, beneath his arrogant demeanor, there is an empathetic side to Fielding that Abby is determined to unearth.<\/p>\n<p>They both must contend with Olivia, the court\u2019s officious assistant district attorney. Driven and ambitious, she views the night court as a steppingstone on her way to bigger things. Neil is the court\u2019s neurotic clerk who loved that his job came with low expectations. That is until a new idealistic judge showed up looking to push him out of his comfort zone.<\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the staff is Donna \u201cGurgs\u201d Gurganous, the night court\u2019s sharp-witted bailiff. Gurgs takes her job very seriously and is fiercely protective of her night court colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>From executive producer and writer Dan Rubin (\u201cUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidt\u201d), \u201cNight Court\u201d is based on the original hit series that ran for nine seasons on NBC.
