Court!fic

I'm looking for fics which contain/center around court.

It can be the Chris Hobbs trial, a custody hearing for Gus, etc.

I would just like Brian and/or Justin to be one of the witnesses.

Thanks. =]

Found some, would like more.

No, Brian's mom doesn't testify in this fic. This fic is the one where Brian and Justin find Gus wandering the street on his birthday because everyone else was ignoring him and making a fuss over JR and Gus thinks that Mel & Linds don't want him anymore. Brian has tried to bring this to the attention of the girls but they blow it off as Gus being jealous of JR, when that really isn't it. One night M&L leave JR with a neighbor and forget about Gus and leave town, Gus calls B&J to help him. Brian takes him and won't give him back. Mel & Lindsey are the ones that get raked over the coals in court. Most of the family is vehemently on the girls side at first, except for Ben and Emmett (and Vic somewhat). Ben & Michael break up over it. Debbie fires Justin from the diner for supporting Brian, etc. The story is aptly titled because it does indeed change the family dynamic forever.

I vaguely remember a fic where Brian's mom does testify, but can't remember much other than that. If anyone remembers that one, I would like to check it out again myself.

Breaking away by Galedreamer is a fic where Brians mother testifies against him. It's in episode 512 (chapter 12).
