I have been trying to think up a new poll for the blog, and I saw poll that I thought would be interesting: What is your favorite on-screen lawyer? Once a poll is up, I can’t change it.
So, before I post it – are there any nominations.? Here is what I have so far:
Atticus Finch / Gregory Peck, To Kill a Mockingbird
Henry Drummond / Spencer Tracy, Inherit the Wind
Perry Mason / Raymond Burr, Perry Mason
Lt. Daniel Kaffee / Tom Cruise, A Few Good Men
Denny Crane / William Shatner, Boston Legal
Jack McCoy / Sam Waterson, Law & Order
Jake Brigance / Matthew McConaughey, A Time to Kill
Lionel Hutz / Phil Hartman, The Simpsons
Elle Woods / Reese Witherspoon, Legally Blonde;
Fletcher Reede / Jim Carrey, Liar, Liar.

JUDGE: Do you have any evidence at all?
Lionel Hutz: Well, Your Honor, we've got plenty of hearsay and conjecture. Those are kinds of evidence.
Ben Stone / Michael Moriarty, Law and Order
Ben Matlock / Andy Griffith, Matlock
Lionel Hutz: Now, Mrs. Simpson, tell the court in your own words what happened after you and your husband were ejected out of the restaurant.
Marge Simpson: Well, we pretty much went straight home.
Hutz: Mrs. Simpson, you're under oath.
Marge: We drove around until three in the morning looking for another open all-you-can-eat seafood restaurant.
Hutz: And when you couldn't find one?
Marge: [crying]: We... went... fishing!
Hutz: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, do these sound like the actions of a man whose had ALL he could eat?
Lionel Hutz: This is the greatest case of false advertising I've seen since I sued the movie The Never Ending Story.

Lionel Hutz: Mr. Simpson, I was just going through your garbage, and I couldn't help overhearing that you need a babysitter. Of course, being a highly-skilled attorney, my fee is $175 an hour.
Homer Simpson: We pay eight dollars for the night, and you can take two popsicles out of the freezer.
Hutz: Three.
Homer: Two.
Hutz: OK, two. And I get to keep this old bird cage.
Homer: Done!
Hutz: [proudly] Still got it.

I still say that Legally Blonde has forever cheapened the value of a Harvard degree.
