I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous.
Today I'm taking a break from representing clients and teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth.
This is part of a continuing series of "Lawyer Reaction" videos. Got a legal movie or TV show you'd like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!
All clips used for fair use commentary, criticism, and educational purposes. See Hosseinzadeh v. Klein, 276 F.Supp.3d 34 (S.D.N.Y. 2017); Equals Three, LLC v. Jukin Media, Inc., 139 F. Supp. 3d 1094 (C.D. Cal. 2015).

I can't get over how this dude looks like how disney draws dad characters
-
Rudy had that press conference between the sex shop and the crematorium because he doesn't know if he's coming or going.
-
"COUNT THE VOTES" - A crowd outside a vote counting location, inside which election officials were counting votes
-
The Deposition Effect: the Stockholm Syndrome's less abusive sibling.
-
"Hindsight is 2020" was a warning from time travelers about the year 2020. They tried to save us.
-
"I'm not saying that Steve is not hot." Interesting...
-
I know who had the BEST election take, Legal Eagle when he said: "When another vote come in that adds to the count. That's called math."
-
"Can't we just redo the election till the guy I want in wins?" How about no.
-
The Four Seasons joke will never get old. We will be telling this one to our grandchildren.
-
the four seasons merch with "Lawn & Order" and "Make America rake again" were also great
-
I think that the Trumpists chanting “Fox News sucks” was actually the funniest thing in modern political history.
-
The Four Seasons landscaping thing was just...wow. I'm still trying to wrap my head how that actually happened.
-
Legal eagle signing off with “and I’ll see you in court” sounds like a threat
-
“We need an explanation as to why the vote count has been building over the last two to three days.” Because that’s how counting works.
-
I know I'm late to this party but my favourite election bad take was everyone who was saying that Michigan had more votes than they had registered voters. Now we know that people were using outdated information on registered voters, But really relevant here is that Michigan offers same day voter registration so sure there were more votes than registered voters prior to election day but those folks registered same day and if people just did a little research they would know that.
-
The ultimate irony on Trump bitching about the electoral college now is that that was how he won in 2016 and even praised it and printed off maps to put on display.
-
I can't believe you didn't include Trump "calling dibs" on a state ("I hereby claim...").
-
"and of course there's the issue when another vote comes in, that adds to the count. That's called math"- LeagalEagle 2020
-
Someone: Let's do illegal things. Devin: That's illegal.
