200,000 Reasons You'll Find My Client 'Not Guilty' by FenrirG
Summary: When Lucius Malfoy asked me to be his attorney, I had no choice but to accept. Actually… I suppose I did have a choice, seeing that it wouldn’t exactly have put Lucius in the best light if he’d threatened me while on trial, or anything like that. But the choice I had, frankly, came down to money. In fact, I find that a lot of choices come down to money in today’s legal system—not the least of which was the choice to let Mr Malfoy walk free.
A deceptively light, satirical story about a young lawyer who makes his big break to success during the trial of Lucius Malfoy--and learns an important lesson in the process.
I am FenrirG of Ravenclaw, writing for the August One-Shot Challenge: The Trial of Lucius Malfoy.

First of all, a big thank-you goes to my *wonderful* beta Fresca/Colores, who was able to check this story for me at such short notice. Also, thank you to the contest judge[s] for running the challenge and reading all the wonderful stories our writers submitted--I hope you enjoyed them! Thirdly, thanks to the fabulous JK Rowling for allowing us to use her world and characters in our stories. Archibald belongs to me, but he's about the only thing that does. =]
