Line 5: ''[[Expository Theme Tune\|fighting for her client!]]'' ''[[Fan Service\|Wearing sexy miniskirts]]'' ''[[You Go, Girl!\|and being self-reliant!]]"''~~\|'''[[Futurama]]'''}}~~ \|'''[[Futurama]]'''}} {{quote\|''Oh, [[Law & Order\|Claire Kincaid]], you can prosecute me any day.''~~\|'''Adam''', ''[http://www.agameoffools.com A Game of Fools]''}}~~ \|'''Adam''', ''[http://www.agameoffools.com A Game of Fools]''}} She wears three-inch heels, favors [[Hot Chick in a Badass Suit\|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, [[High-Class Call Girl\|she's not a prostitute]]; she's a lawyer. (Same difference, right? But [[Evil Lawyer Joke\|we kid, we kid]].) Line 13 ⟶ 15: 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). Line 22 ⟶ 24: ** 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 [[Knight Templar\|very]], [[Axe Crazy\|VERY]] [[Psycho Supporter\|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]]''. == [[~~Comics~~Comic Books]] ==▼ ** ToFew can deny that [[She Hulk\|Jennifer Walters]] fits this trope - for many, the fact that she's 6'7" and can bench a battleship~~...~~ [[Hot Amazon\|actually makes her ''~~[[Hot Amazon\|~~hotter]]'']].▼ ▲== [[Comics]] == * So what if she's 6'7" and can bench a battleship, few deny that [[She Hulk\|Jennifer Walters]] fits in here. ▲** To many, the fact that she's 6'7" and can bench a battleship... actually makes her ''[[Hot Amazon\|hotter]]''. * [[Daredevil\|Matthew "Matt" Murdock]] is a male example. * The [[X-Men]]'s lawyer, Evangeline "Vange" Whedon, is a [[Goth]] chick who [[Bare Your Midriff\|bares her midriff]] more often than not. * [[Captain America (comics)\|Captain America]]'s girlfriend in the '80s, Bernie Rosenthal. == [[Film]] == * Elle, Vivian, and several other characters, in ''[[Legally Blonde]]''. * Sally Carrera in ''[[Cars]]''. She is a [[Stealth Pun\|Porsche]], after all. * Rachel Dawes from ''[[Batman Begins]]'' (played by Katie Holmes) and ''[[The Dark Knight]]''~~. Both versions~~ (~~Katie Holmes and~~ [[Maggie Gyllenhaal]])., as well as Harvey Dent (Aaron Echkart) ~~as well~~. * Elizabeth Banks's character in ''Role Models''. * ~~As already mentioned,~~ Matt Murdock aka ''[[Daredevil (film)\|Daredevil]]''., as ~~Played~~played by [[Ben Affleck]]. * Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore, in ''Laws of Attraction''. * [[Jessica Biel]]'s character in ''[[I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry]]''. * The [[Harrison Ford]] thriller ''Presumed Innocent'' has his prosecutor character accused of the murder of his fellow attorney (and mistress), played by a smoking-hot Greta Scacchi. * The Chinese lawyer Shen Yuelin in ''Red Corner'', played by the gorgeous Bai Ling. * [[Amoral Attorney]] version: Sofie Fatale (Julie Dreyfus) from ''[[Kill Bill]]'' was O-Ren's best friend and lawyer. {{spoiler\|She loses an arm (and maybe both of them) as a result of The Bride's revenge.}} * Penelope Ann Miller in ''[[Other People's Money]]''. == [[Live -Action TV]] == * THE ENTIRE DAMN CAST of ''[[Ally McBeal]]''. Except maybe Richard Fish. [[Your Mileage May Vary\|Maybe.]] ** In one episode, it is eventually [[Lampshade Hanging\|revealed]] that this is actually an ''advertised selling point'' for the law firm. Line 51: * ''Judge John Deed'' * ''[[Eli Stone]]'' * ''[[Law & ~~Order\|Law and~~ 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. Jamie Ross arguably tops the lot- she's played by a former [[Licence to Kill\|Bond Girl]]! Annie Parisse's first appearance on ''L&O'' was as a stripper named Jasmine. They [[You Look Familiar\|brought her back]] to play ADA Alexandra Borgia. Not to mention the ''[[Law ~~and~~& Order: Special Victims Unit]]'' ADAs, most notably Alex Cabot and Casey Novak. In addition to Alex herself, all her ADAs on the short-lived spinoff ''[[Conviction]]'' were pretty telegenic. She only appeared in a couple of episodes, but Patricia Kent on ''[[Law ~~and~~& Order: Criminal Intent]]''. ''[[Law & Order: Trial by ~~Jury\|Law and Order Trial By~~ Jury]]'' had bureau chief Tracey Kibre (played by the delectable [[Bebe Neuwirth]]) and ADA Kelly Gaffney. ''[[Law ~~and~~& Order: UK]]'' seems to be following in this trend as well with the casting of [[Freema Agyeman]]. 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 ''[[LAL.A. Law]]''. * Maggie Lizer, the {{spoiler\|faux-}}blind lawyer played by [[Seinfeld\|Julia]] [[The New Adventures of Old Christine\|Louis-]][[Christmas Cake\|Dreyfus]] ~~from~~on ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)\|Arrested Development]]''. * Mac, the [[Ms. Fanservice]] from ''[[JAG]]''. Harm was the male version. ** This got a nod on the show itself, with they land a big public case, and a late night TV host says something to the effect of "Colonel Mackenzie? More like Major Babe." Line 87: * Justin, Lauren and Kate (former attorney, now mediator) all qualify from ''[[Fairly Legal]]''. * All the main cast of ''[[Raising the Bar]]'', but Michelle and Bobbi in particular. * Sexual harassment lawyer Mary Tate on ''[[Studio 60 Onon the Sunset Strip]]''. * 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. * French series ''[[Engrenages]]'' has two of them - male and female versions. The male one is dark-haired firm-chinned prosecutor Pierre Clément. The female one is busty and slender redhead Joséphine Karlsson, who also displays a deep [[Amoral Attorney\|lack of morals]]. * Matthew Crawley on ''[[Downton Abbey]]''. * Constance from ''[[Life]]''. * One episode of ''[[Castle]]'' featured a lawyer who had given up law to become a dominatrix. == [[~~Western Animation~~Music]] == * [[Reba McEntire]] in her music video "Take it Back".▼ * ''Single Female Lawyer'', the cancelled [[Show Within a Show]] parody of ''[[Ally McBeal]]'' in ''[[Futurama]]''.▼ ** "Single Female Lawyer, havin' lotsa sex!"▼ * Judy Ken Sebben, a.k.a. Birdgirl, of [[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]].▼ * Janet Van Dorn from ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]''. * Sally Botsford from ''[[Word Girl]]''.▼ == [[Video Games]] == Line 111 ⟶ 107: ** And hell, let's give the guy a break - Phoenix Wright himself [[Nice Guy\|has]] [[Nice Hat\|his]] [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass\|charms.]] * A female character in ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]]'' with high Charisma and high ranks in conversation skills can achieve this during your trial for mass murder during the second chapter of the main campaign. * If your daughter in ''Princess Maker 2'' has enough Intelligence, Morals and Faith among other stuff, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130719001011/http://www.kkpmc.net/pm2/pm2_end.htm she can become a judge.] * In ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'', Lilly's sister Akira is a [[Bifauxnen]] version. * [[Combat Medic\|Elara Dorne]] in ''[[Star Wars: The Old Republic]]'' has shades of this; she may not be an attorney per se, but she can navigate the bureaucracy of the Republic military like no other. Line 120 ⟶ 116: * ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' has [http://egscomics.com/index.php?arcid=71 Lisa,] attorney and legal adviser to [[Mad Scientist\|Germahn Labs.]] Of course, since Doctor Germahn is a bit of a [[Dirty Old Man]], he wouldn't hire any other kind of lawyer. == [[~~Music~~Western Animation]] == ▲* ''Single Female Lawyer'', the cancelled [[Show Within a Show]] parody of ''[[Ally McBeal]]'' in ''[[Futurama]]''. ▲* [[Reba McEntire]] in her music video "Take it Back". ▲** "Single Female Lawyer, havin' lotsa sex!" ▲* Judy Ken Sebben, a.k.a. Birdgirl, of [[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]]. * Janet Van Dorn from ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]''. Also, Harley disguises herself as one in "The Man Who Killed Batman", complete with [[Sexy Spectacles]]. ▲* Sally Botsford from ''[[Word Girl]]''. == [[Real Life]] == * It's probably worth mentioning (everyone else did) that Scott Brown, the new{{when}} Republican Senator from Massachusetts, posed naked in ''Cosmo'' while in law school. * [http://underneaththeirrobes.blogs.com/main/judicial_divas_and_hotties/ There are entire blogs to men and women of the judicial bench and ranking their hotness] Some say its unprofessional. Others say they were jealous they didn't rank higher. * Victoria Zdrok. Playboy Playmate, Penthouse Pet, selected as one of the 10 sexiest women of 2002 by ''Celebrity Sleuth Magazine'' -- and a New York Attorney. * ~~Apprentic~~''[[The ~~Contenders~~Apprentice (TV series)\|Apprentice]]'' contenders Muna Heaven, Steffani Schaeffer and Kristine Lefebvre (who paid her way through law school by modelling) * Nancy Dell'Ollio * ''[[The Real Housewives of Atlanta]]'' star Phaedra Parks * ''[[Project Runway]]'' contestant Star Ilzhoefer * Catherine Crier * Judge Maria Lopez * Jacqui Frazier * ''[[The Amazing Race\|The Amazing Race 5]]'' contestant Mirna Hindoyan * Candace Smith.
