Dr. Walsh, though I represent Mr. Parks I will give you a free tip: if this ever ends up in court you don't want to be saying things like you hope to find a big, green tumor the size of a softball.

MMcGovern
May I clarify?
No. I think you came off good and clarified, Mr. McGovern. And it's my turn now.
Bobby, on the next one, I want off.
What do you mean, you want off?
I mean, I want off. One rape a week is my limit.
JNJudge Nelson
I see. Well, you've dropped a bomb on my desk. There's absolutely no chance of me ruling on this ex parte. I'm going to notify the attorney general's office so I can hear oral arguments from both sides.
In wide open court?
JNJudge Nelson
Yes, council, wide open court. That's the way I like to do it.

MMartha
You hear them? Every note is dead on. We're good!
Very good, but...
MMartha
So, we have a case. They can't reject us just because we're Christian. It's against the law. First amendment!
It's a synagogue, Ms. Burl. They can reject you on Christianity.
[At the wedding ceremony between his mom and another woman]
What do I call her? Do I have to call her mom? Dad?
MBMary Beth
Michelle will be fine. Are you OK?
I'm fine. But I don't want to hear nothing about the honeymoon.
S2 E14The Pursuit of Dignity
I have a client who could be perceived as um, a little too quick to sue. I'm worried one or more of the jurors may have seen your commercial.
And?
And, um, with a litigious plaintiff I don't think it helps our cause to be associated with Jimmy The Grunt.
Go to hell.
Jimmy, she's not wrong.
Well you go to hell, too.
S2 E15Line of Duty
[addressing the judge] My only defense here is legal. I'm a criminal defense attorney. I represent bad people. The adversary system is premised on the defense attorney doing whatever he can to get the guy off. It's drummed into us, we are bound by the limits of the law, but only the law. Morality. Right or wrong. Justice. If a criminal lawyer starts asking himself "What's the just result here" "How should we get to there", he's lost. It's not a noble excuse. But a legal one.
JWJudge Walsh
[To Jimmy] One of the problems with the proliferation of law schools, night schools, part time schools, salons, come-get-a-shampoo, earn-a-law-degree-while-you-wait-for-your hair-to-dry, we over flood the market with attorneys. Who, because of the competition have to go out and create litigation just so they can scratch a living. I hate it. And you're a poster boy for the problem.
SSilverman
So, the defendant knew about the raid.
I'd answer, but the defense is about to object.
Lindsay, I agree at some point maybe we should tell her. But could you please allow me to put a little distance between me and these multiple murder charges before we do that?
S2 E16Truth and Consequences
This is the firm that took the tobacco industry for one, seven. You have been underestimating us from the start, Mr. West. Are you sure you want to keep doing that?
It may just be a notice of appearance, Jimmy. It's not necessarily their ruling.
It's their ruling. Whether we have to split the trial or not, the answer's right here.
Well, maybe you should open it.
Your Honor, we uh vigorously object to uh splitting the trial.
WWest
Well, of course they do, Your Honor. They're planning to use emotion to make up for their lack of evidence.
You don't know what we're doing.
WWest
Do you?
S2 E17Burden of Proof
[to Jimmy] The work can be so dirty sometimes. But this trial, you reminded me how noble lawyers can be. I was proud to be at your side.
