NBC has handed a pilot order to the legal comedic drama REX IS NOT YOUR LAWYER from Universal Media Studios and BermanBraun.
Written by Andrew Leeds and David Lampson, REX centers on a lawyer who suffers panic attacks and takes up coaching clients to represent themselves in court.
Law & Order veteran Barry Schindel has come on board as showrunner on the project. He will executive produce with Leeds, Lampson, Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun.
Actor Leeds and novelist Lampson got their break as TV writers in 2005 when their comedy script STEPHEN'S LIFE beat out 10,000 other entries to win Bravo's reality series SITUATION: COMEDY.
REX was one of the first projects Berman and Lloyd developed after the 2007 launch of their company. They originally sold it to NBC that year under their first-look deal with NBC Universal. It first was sidelined by the writers strike; then NBC brass passed on it.
