[TOMT][MOVIE][2000s] Lawyer/Judge? Adopts Teen Gothic Daughter of Woman in Jail

r/

I saw this on TV around 2008. The main character was a middle-aged woman. She was a lawyer, or a judge, or something in that field. I don’t remember why or how, but she ends up offering to take care of the teen daughter of a woman who is in jail.

The girl moves with her and the beginning is rocky. The laywer/judge doesn’t like her gothic clothes and she doesn’t trust her boyfriend, who I think rode a motorbike and had this bad boy look and attitude.

I remember the girl was a really good student in high school and was interested in literature. She bonds with a guy in her class who is the son of a friend of the laywer/judge.

There was some weird violent confrontation with the mother (I think she was going out of jail but she screws it, and I think she blames the daughter or is mean to her in some way). In the end, the lawyer/judge officially adopts the girl as her own.

    The girl breaks up with the boyfriend in the end and starts dating the son of the new mom’s friend. She stops wearing gothic clothes too.
