A reader of this site has emailed me to point out a post at Criminaljusticedegreesguide.com. The post, available here, is titled, “10 Literary Lawyers We Wish Were Real.” Here’s the list:
1. Atticus Finch
2. Rudy Baylor
3. Perry Mason
4. Portia as Balthazar
5. Joel Litvinoff
6. Horace Rumpole
7. The Man of Law
8. Wallace Stevens (a strange selection indeed, since Stevens was real, but the author has put an interesting twist on Stevens)
9. Henry Drummond
10. Jake Brigance
Readers should view the article to see why the (unnamed) author believes that these figures “should be real.”
