Hello, Attorney!



""Single Female Lawyer fighting for her client! Wearing sexy miniskirts and being self-reliant!""

- Futurama

"Oh, Claire Kincaid, you can prosecute me any day."

- Adam, A Game of Fools

She wears three-inch heels, favors form-fitting suits with low-cut tops and hemlines well above the knee, has a sexy voice, and can impress many a man or woman. She also charges six hundred dollars an hour and doesn't care who her clients are, just as long as they pay. No, she's not a prostitute; she's a lawyer. (Same difference, right? But we kid, we kid.)

This is basically about sexy lawyers, judges, etc. While such portrayals usually constitute blatant Fan Service, they're occasionally justified in-universe as lawyers using their sex appeal to woo clients or sway juries.

Hello, Attorney! often tries cases involving suspects captured by a Fair Cop.

Similar to Hello, Nurse!, Hospital Hottie and Hot Scientist. Compare Hot Librarian (especially in visual appearance).

Anime and Manga

 * Eri Kisaki/Eva Kadan from Detective Conan. Bonus for having a teenage daughter who is just as pretty as she is.
 * Her rival, Reiko Kujou, is just as hot.
 * Teru Mikami from Death Note is a male example. Unlike most examples, while he is good looking, he's also very, VERY unhinged. (Of course, this is Death Note we're talking about, so this is pretty much a given.)
 * Kotoko Fujioka aka Haruhi's Missing Mom from Ouran High School Host Club.

Comic Books

 * Matthew "Matt" Murdock is a male example.
 * The X-Men's lawyer, Evangeline "Vange" Whedon, is a Goth chick who bares her midriff more often than not.
 * Captain America's girlfriend in the '80s, Bernie Rosenthal.

 * THE ENTIRE DAMN CAST of Ally McBeal. Except maybe Richard Fish. Maybe.
 * In one episode, it is eventually revealed that this is actually an advertised selling point for the law firm.
 * This trope seems to be a favorite of David E. Kelley's. The Practice and Boston Legal have no shortage of easy-on-the eyes characters. (Neither do any of his non-legal shows, for that matter.)
 * Judge John Deed
 * Eli Stone
 * Law & Order: Pretty much every single post-Robinette ADA, including a few of the men (and for some, Robinette himself). Claire Kincaid and Abbie Carmichael in particular. It's been Lampshaded; in Claire's first episode, she asks Jack about sexual relationships with his female ADAs. He says he only had three such relationships in 24 years, including an ex-wife. At the end of the episode, she says she checked, and he's only had three female assistants. He insists he was being honest.

 * Also Lampshaded by Alana De La Garza's ADA Connie Rubirosa in the Season 18 Episode "Tango" and the Season 20 Episode "Reality Bites", where EADA Michael Cutter takes advantage of a juror and a reality TV producer's interest in her to advance the People's case in both episodes.
 * Jenna Elfman's title character on Courting Alex.
 * Grace Van Owen, on L.A. Law.
 * Maggie Lizer, the blind lawyer played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Arrested Development.

 * Asst. State's Attorney Rhonda Pearlman, anyone? Just me?
 * Not just you, although most of the drool on the TV Set probably came from
 * Dr. Lightman's ex-wife from Lie to Me, who says she left him partly because when she was just wearing a thong, he was looking at her eyebrows. She's played by Jennifer "Flashdance" Beals.

 * While not really lawyers, Tara and Hardison on Leverage both portray them as part of cons. Tara is even referred to as a hot librarian when the team sees her for the first time.

Web Comics

 * Ipso & Facto, the Daivas of Greed and Envy act as the Devil Bear's lawyers.
 * Celia in Order of the Stick.
