Every time our legal team enters the courtroom, we are excited and prepared to help our clients in the best possible ways. But over the years, we’ve noticed that the prospect of practicing law often seems way more exhilarating on TV than it actually is. Part of this excitement stems from the fictional nature of the cases, but another part is due to the men and women portraying the attorneys. For this reason, we want to highlight three of the best TV attorneys you’d want to represent you in court. A worthy lawyer must be observant, objective, and unbiased. Playing a major role in Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Atticus Finch embodies all of these necessary legal characteristics in his defense of poorly treated characters residing in Maycomb County, Alabama. In the years since the book was published, legal experts believe that no real-life lawyer has done more for the self-image or public perception of attorneys. Due to his insistence on standing up for what is just regardless of popular opinion, Atticus Finch is a lawyer you would definitely want on your team. 3 FICTIONAL LAWYERS YOU’D WANT TO REPRESENT YOU IN COURT ATTORNEYS ON THE BIG SCREEN ATTICUS FINCH
MOM REALLY DOES KNOW BEST
3 WIVES’ TALES PROVEN TRUE
“Make a face like that, and it’ll stay that way forever.” You may have heard something like this from Mom’s book of wisdom. Maybe you never disputed the idea that mother knows best. But as you grew up, it slowly became clear that hair doesn’t grow back faster and thicker if you shave it, cracking your knuckles doesn't cause arthritis, and gum doesn’t stay in your stomach for months after you swallow it. After a whirlwind of wives’ tales over the years, many common claims have been put under scrutiny. Wives tales have been known as pseudoscience and blind intuition, but even as many were disproved, some surprisingly proved to hold weight. Here are three wives’ tales that have proven to be true. For decades, moms have professed the healing properties of garlic, suggesting it can cure colds and help the body fight sickness. It turns out they were absolutely right. Garlic has antiviral properties that strengthen the immune system and nutrients that help combat illnesses. The effects of garlic can actually be more effective than over-the-counter flu medications. Some studies show that regular consumption of raw garlic lessens the likelihood of getting a cold, so if you feel a tickle in your throat, try a clove before you open the medicine cabinet. It’s hard to list wives’ tales without bringing up one about pregnancy. Many are solely based on intuition, but a few that sound odd are legitimate. In 2007, a study done by Johns Hopkins attempted to debunk the myth that heartburn during pregnancy would mean a hairy baby at birth. Instead of proving it wrong, they found that 82 percent of women with severe heartburn during pregnancy gave birth to hairy babies. Turns out the hormones that cause heartburn in pregnant women also affect fetal hair growth. GARLIC CURES COLDS HEARTBURN MEANS A HAIRY BABY
ELLE WOODS
Practicing law requires careful preparation, and no one prepares like Elle Woods. She might be a slow starter when it comes to delivering an argument, but few are better at finishing it than she. What makes Woods the complete package is her ability
to stay true to her character and never settle for anything but the best — all while remaining the most fashionable attorney to ever set foot in the courtroom. She is passionate, hardworking, and determined.
BILLY FLYNN
While Billy Flynn is notoriously known for defending guilty clients — primarily, murderous women — his zest, flare, and ability to persuade a room full of people is unmatched. In fact, he boasts that he has yet to lose a case. While his tactics might not be completely honest, his entertaining personality and catchy musical numbers like “Razzle Dazzle” and “All I Care About Is Love” might make him a fun addition to your legal team.
JOINT PAIN PREDICTS THE WEATHER
Did you ever look at your mom with skepticism when she would predict rain because her knees hurt? If so, you might owe your mom an apology, because there is a scientific connection. The drop in barometric pressure that’s common during storm weather causes pain in arthritic joints.
