<p>First, in my opinion, no TV show can accurately portray what the practice of law is like. Almost every TV show is a about trial lawyers, which is understandable since trial is the ultimate legal battle ground. However, in the life of a case, trial is at the tail end of matters, and represents only days (usually) in the life of a case that can be years old. But, writing letters, drafting and answering interrogatories (questions), and taking depositions, does not make for great TV. Yet, that is bulk of what a trial lawyer does before a case ever gets to trial. And, bear in mind, 95% of all cases settle out of court.</p>
