Valedictorian at Cooley suggests My Cousin Vinny
Not kidding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdhaEUA1H9Y

My Civ Pro teacher used clips from this movie to illustrate a lot of points in class (ex: Expert witnesses).

My evidence class used it too. I have to say that my cousin vinny and legally blonde, combined with Lincoln lawyer are my three favorite lawyer movies ever.

A friend in Biz Assoc was assigned to watch Pretty Woman this term. "Don't pay attention to the romantic parts like you usually would, pay attention to the hostile takeover of the ship-building company."

I know it's not a movie, but if you have Netflix, "The Guardian" is a good series to check out. It's a really underrated show IMO.

I think it's probably more accurate than "Boston Legal" or "Ally McBeal" in terms of lawyer shows and although I'm just a 0L, I think it offers a glimpse into the everyday work of a family law/child's advocate lawyer.

Until it turned into a ridiculous soap opera.

Scandal, for sure -- a bunch of lawyers who don't do anything law related.

But in all seriousnes... I'd go with Mean Girls.

[MauriceGains]

The Machinist.

Get Rich or Die Tryin'.

Drag Me to Hell.

The scenes in Clueless where they sit around going through endless documents while being bored are pretty accurate.

[150s_or_bust]

Legally Blonde

I just watched that movie last week. They did a really good job with the legal parts. Surprisingly, the entire movie was very smart.

It's actually one of my favorite movies.

My Cousin Vinny is classic.

[bandenjamin]

I thought Franklin & Bash was the real legal documentary series. It's got small & big law mixed with normal courtroom procedure.

Have you seen the dungeon scene in pulp fiction?

laughed so loud a friend asked what was up.

He read the thread and said "Damages, because the ending is a given from the very beginning- you end up busy and sad, and if you're smart you can figure out the way you'll get there too- through predictable and uninteresting twists handed down from the people in charge."

he graduated T10 a few years back.

Lincoln Lawyer

[J-e-L-L-o]

My Cousin Vinny is classic.

ooooo You're such a smoooth twalker

One of my favorite movie quotes of all time:
"Dead on balls accurate....Industry jargon your honor"

[Teflon_Don]

The second half of Legally Blonde is a decent depiction

[Elston Gunn]

The Machinist.
