Neïla Salah, originaire de Créteil, a toujours voulu devenir avocate. Dès ses premiers jours à l'université Panthéon-Assas, elle est confrontée au professeur Pierre Mazard, connu pour ses provocations et ses méthodes particulières. Il a un accrochage avec une étudiante arrivée en retard, qui fait une entrée assez bruyante . Il demande à cette étudiante perturbatrice de lui donner son nom, puis de définir Prénom et Nom, puisqu'il n'est pas sensé , comme de juste de connaître tous les prénoms étrangers. Il fait aussi remarquer que le droit français a évolué depuis Napoléon I, contrairement à la Charia, ce qui est vrai. Il donne pour exemple le choix des prénoms, il plaisante : " avant il fallait choisir le prénom dans le calendrier, à présent on peut appeler son enfant Carte Orange". Du coup, assez bizarrement, il est accusé de racisme. Pour se racheter et un peu manipulé par le directeur de l'université qui « ne peut plus le couvrir », Pierre est contraint de préparer Neïla à un prestigieux concours d’éloquence. Malgré son cynisme et son exigence, Neïla semble trouver en Pierre le mentor dont elle avait besoin. Tous deux vont cependant devoir tout d'abord passer au-dessus de leurs préjugés respectifs.
