Law firms are a common element of fictional depictions of legal practice.Terry White, ''Justice Denoted: The Legal Thriller in American, British, and Continental Courtroom Literature'' (2003). In

, generally, they create opportunities to depict lawyers engaged in dramatic interactions that are reflective of the real-world drama of the profession.Michael Asimow, ''Embodiment of Evil: Law Firms in the Movies'', 48 UCLA L. Rev. 1339 (2001). 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.

s alike. In 2001, UCLA law professor Michael Asimow wrote: Because of this perception, law firms are readily represented as places of intrigue and deception, with modern portrayals that "extend from the surreal to the diabolical". Asimow notes that these portrayals have real legal significance because "stories about law, lawyers, or the legal system in film, television, or print" are the vehicle by which "the public learns most of what it thinks it knows about law, lawyers and the legal system".

, in particular, has displayed a penchant for portraying large firms as evil entities, contrasted against heroic solo practitioners, small firm attorneys, law students, and against their own more ethical young associates.


In television

Fictional law firms that serve as the backdrop for television shows tend to be portrayed in a more sympathetic light. Asimow wrote that it is "striking how much more favorably law firms are portrayed on dramatic television series than in film". This is reflected in the earliest television series depicting a law firm, '' The Defenders'' which revolved around the father and son firm of Preston & Preston. Other sympathetic portrayals are found in ''

Each of these shows depict a mid-size firm, rather than an office of a very large firm, and each depicts attorneys employed by the firm as having very different legal specialties and temperaments. These positive portrayals, however, do not extend to larger firms. Many television programs having law firms at their core have been written or created by
