Although, to the untrained eye, lawyers do not belong to the most flashy of occupations, they are a frequent occurrence in many people’s media diet. In this regard, their portrayal can be as different as night and day - from the selfless and heroic like Atticus Finch, the protagonist of Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird to the outright evil such as Law & Order’s attorney Oslow.
In this episode, Jonas and Thu Hien provide an introduction to - and reasons for - the portrayal of defence attorneys in the media.
