Nationality/time period doesnt matter
Saul Goodman
Goddamn if he ain’t slick
Why do you want to know ? DOESN’T MATTER ! JUST CALL SAUL GOODMAN RIGHT NOW !
That guy in the Youtube video who told us to never talk to the cops.
Probably, the only defense lawyer most people could name off the top of their head is Johnnie Cochran.
Yeah he’s certainly the most famous modern defense lawyer. He got a guy who very obviously murdered someone off through his skills as a lawyer so that sticks in people’s minds. For the young people in this thread, he was OJ Simpson’s lawyer.
The two that immediately come to mind are Clarence Darrow and Cicero.
Cicero would’ve been my pick, too
Phoenix Wright?
Clarence Darrow, known for his defense in the Scopes “Monkey” trial, and more recently, Alan Dershowitz and Johnny Cochran.
Incidentally, the transcript from the Scopes trial is awesome. There is a book about the trial called “Trial of the Century” and it quotes from the transcripts heavily, a great read.
Alan Dershowitz has turned into a right-wing hack, making ridiculous legal arguments to defend untenable positions.
Darrow lost though. Incredible as it sounds.
He lost the case in that particular court but he won in the broader court of public opinion. The real loser was Wlliams Jenning Bryan.
