Great Fictional Lawyers

posted by Christy

From Vincent Gambini to Alan Shore, the entertainment industry has portrayed the good, the bad, and the ugly of the American legal system.  And although most of the courtroom scenes and closing speeches seem over the top and some times far from reality, people can't seem to get enough of legal thrillers and Grisham novels.  We all have our favorites, but most of the greats are included in the ABA's list of The 25 Greatest Fictional Lawyers (Who Are Not Atticus Finch).  Check it out and let us know your favorite fictional lawyer.

    I love that our Evidence professor actually played entire clips of My Cousin Vinny in class…and better yet, that they actually helped understand some evidence concepts!  HA!
