The attorney at 7: 20 is absolutely horrendous. If your conviction rate is 100%, you've either been on the prosecuting side very few times or were unethical in some way to secure convictions on all the defendants, innocent or guilty. We really don't want anyone to be convicted of a crime unless we are 100% certain they are guilty of what they have been accused of and statistically speaking only 2/3 - 3/4 of criminal charges end in a conviction. It's highly probable that a quarter or more of the cases she was in ended with an innocent person going to prison, paying a fine, or suffering another penalty unjustly.

you would think when producing a movie there would be a consult with a lawyer to evaluate the accuracy of the scenes. it drives me nuts when i can tell something isn't true to real life but tries very hard to be. same with medical shows that just make up nonsense on the fly. i feel like they think lawyers won't watch movies, doctors won't watch medical shows, etc. i understand the need for drama but there's a lot of realistic drama that could be portrayed instead

Miss Lawyer, you must not have seen the movie My Cousin Vinny, or you would know that the lawyer getting in the witness's face while questioning her, did not know that it was a hypothetical question. It was based on his own knowledge of some car in his own past and his own experience. In his experience, the car he owned or worked on as a summer mechanic job at a gas station garage, had that engine and the timing was set to the spec that he mentions.

I was present in court once where the defendant in a brandishing started yelling at the guy she had pointed the gun at and then leapt over the witness stand to attack him. It happened so fast the judge and bailiff couldn't respond immediately. Like this lawyer, I thought that kind of thing was all made for tv before that instance. -

I can-t separate how much she looks like Hillary- had to keep telling myself she-s not haha. Further, she keeps commenting -in real life there-s no music in the background- or -I-ve never heard dramatic music in the background-- etc - seems she needs a reminder she-s analysing tv shows & movies-. Yeah sis, they usually have music.

I would dearly love to see an analysis of a great courtroom movie. Anatomy of a murder. George C. Scott versus Jimmy Stewart. Being shown powerfully how to not prosecute a case by violating the first principle of law practice. Bonus round: Twelve Angry Men.

when i served on jury in the Kenosha WI, nope that jury, but they told us that read back was not real, even though there was gal there typing things out, there is no read back that happens during the actual trail. were we just too poor?

To be fair, Lomax is the Spawn of the Devil so he has a innate sense of others around him. He has a luciferian 7th sense that has made him the perfect criminal lawyer, one who NEVER loses. Ever.

I am not a lawyer but I like court movies, and read lawyer comments about it, and something I've got realized, even here, is that Philadelphia is a movie which lawyers ussually hate

I like her attitude. She is being sarcastic sometimes but it's difficult to understand. And she is a lawyer that's for sure by watching how she is driving the video.
