I only skimmed the thread, so someone might have mentioned it already.

You should see or read To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus Finch is an excellent depiction of a great lawyer. A Dean at Penn yesterday actually cited him as someone who profoundly affected the way he thought about being an attorney.

I don't think you understand the point of a thread. It's not lawyers who inspire you.

Whatever tv show or movie will focus on a lawyer spending a ton of time reading and writing. Seriously, that would be the most accurate.

What about the movie Michael Clayton.

Liked how it ended, but I thought it's view of biglaw was pretty dark and depressing in some ways.

Gotta throw in The Pelican Brief. Especially if you're planning on going to Tulane.

Attending Tulane leads to an unhealthy obsession with Penn on TLS.

Er, of course you could be right; and I'm wrong all the time.

Though it seemed clear to me that To Kill Mockingbird depicts a lawyer's life and work. What's more is that it does so to a extent far greater than the Paper Chase, I think, a movie that the OP cited as of the kind he is looking for.

Devil's Advocate didn't seem realistic at all, being that it was a super natural thriller. I understand that the hero was a lawyer, but the weird demonic/Satanic stuff knid of clouded much of the movie for me in terms of realistic legal life.

...Well The Firm and Michael Clayton are possible. More so Michael Clayton.
