Scales of Justice is a fictional yet controversial exploration of various levels of corruption within Australian law enforcement.

Scales of Justice is a trilogy of self-contained plays tracing a young probationary constable who finds himself torn between his moral obligations and loyalty; of two drug squad detectives who allow themselves to be compromised to achieve power; and of a brilliant young politician who finds himself in conflict with his own parliamentary wing and family when he decides to take on a well known vice king.

One of the most controversial Australian mini-series ever produced, Scales of Justice is a shattering examination of official corruption in all levels of law enforcement. Containing three self-contained, character-linked dramas focusing on the world of Australian law enforcement, vice, drugs, politics and wide spread corruption, from street level to the corridors of power, the programme achieved a near-documentary level of realism.
