Law Firms In Fiction
Law firms are a common element of fictional depictions of legal practice. In legal drama, generally, they create opportunities to depict lawyers engaged in dramatic interactions that are reflective of the real-world drama of the profession. The portrayal of law firms varies by the media in which they are presented, with law firms in novels and in films (many of which are simply adaptations of the novels) being presented in a negative light, while law firms in television series tending to be presented more positively.

Famous quotes containing the words law, firms and/or fiction:
“The Law is the true embodiment
Of everything that’s excellent.

And I, my Lords, embody the Law.”

The rest were secretaries, typists, file clerks, or receptionists in insurance firms or banks, preferably those owned or run by the family, but respectable enough if the boss was an upstanding Christian member of the community.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
“Being is a fiction invented by those who suffer from becoming.”
—Coleman Dowell (1925–1985)
