★More series on LegalEagle★

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!

Prosecutor: “You killed and ate an innocent person!”
Defendant: “You are what you eat!”
Prosecutor: *sweating* “Damn he’s good”

[stephen]

Lawyer: *rips off underwear*
Judge: “Thank you for that debriefing.”

[patrickcrandall]

“Attack lawyer, defense lawyer, I place one lawyer facedown and end my turn” is a Yu-Gi-Oh reference!

[dexterity]

Me: starts speeding
Cop: you went 68. you're getting a speeding ticket
me: damn could you make that number a bit higher to make it funny haha
cop: sure whatever

later

judge: how tf were you going 420 in a school zone

[UserJWR]

"RBG is never gonna die." Oh god, this aged horribly..

[tokumahyata]

+ So there's a :
-Law reviews meme
-Doctor reviews meme
-British priest reviews meme

[kungfuskull]

I think my favorite lawyer joke is actually from the Sonic Boom tv show. "Objection!" "On what grounds?" "We're losing!" "Overruled. But, yes, you are. Badly."

[SawtoothWaves]

now RBG *AND* Larry King are dead.. whelp

[SpiralSine]

Lesson of the video: he just became a lawyer so he could watch more TV as a kid

[funnyjoke]

That Law and Order story explains why he didn't get the Yu-Gi-Oh meme pretty well

[TheHorrorDevotee]

It's so cute when he tells the story of convincing his parents to let him watch unlimited Law and Order. It's like he won his very first case

[andrewarrington]

*notices the yugioh reference*
"Is that a Dungeons & Dragons thing?"
*laughs hysterically*
That's cute lol

[cronimass]

Lawyer: *confuses yugioh for dnd:

Literally everyone: this should be illegal

[UltimateKyuubiFox]

That defense mode, attack mode, face down meme is about the card game Yu-Gi-Oh.

[andrewjohnson]

Whenever I see him in a polo shirt I’m reminded of people who say “no way Daredevil could ever hide that physique when he’s Matt Murdock”. Dude, I have evidence to the contrary.

[cwiggins]

Your parents knew you'd make an excellent lawyer later that night when they realized you successfully convinced them to let you watch Law and Order for its educational value.😂

[pconnor]

"RBG is gonna live forever."

Me, with tears in my eyes: "Objection..."

[shadowdramon]

LegalEagle without an Indochino suit? What is this madness?

[gigispence]

Oh my word we need “real lawyer reacts to Sheldon Cooper’s roommate agreement”

[saintwcf]

Not a lawyer, but I learned the value of writing a really nasty letter or email, then letting it rest a bit and editing out the worst of the nastiness. The subtle nastiness that can be achieved this way is epic.
