When you use a excellent resistance lawyer, you are developing a sensible switch. If you are vitalized with a serious legal action, there is a chance that you could decrease your flexibility for a while. It is not recommended that you encounter these kinds of expenditures without the best legal help that is available. When you are suffering from indictment and complicated sentencing, you need an founded legal lawyer that perform with you and understand your needs.
Whatever. Anyways, comic books have also seized upon the public's current fascination with Juris Doctorates. Taking a cue from its media counterparts, comic book lawyers rarely deal with matters outside of criminal law (although the misadventures of Lex Luthor's patent attorney would add some much needed variety), although not all of them practice law in a court room. Behold the 13 greatest comic book characters to ever use the Esq. suffix!

I'm definitely fascinated with Jennifer Walters a.k.a. She-Hulk. As a lawyer, she is just as outstanding as any lawyer can be. A calm and collected heroine who never loses in the courtroom is just inspiring. I hope Marvel Studios decides to introduce her to the big screen. I'm sure she'll be a big hit!
I love to read the different lawyers book. It is very interesting to read and increase our knowledge. My favorite lawyer comic book is Ronan the Accuser which i read many time.
I really love your writing, unlike most blogs I actually learn things, find the content useful and it’s well written. 11/10 every time!
Harvey Birdman? Granted, not a comic book, but still the best lawyer/superhero of all time.
THANK YOU FOR THE SHE-HULK LOVE! I'm in such a minority with being a fan of hers. I hope she eventually wins back her shtick from that thief Deadpool, who is the non-comic-readers go-to hero now....
Dredd ought to be #1, I agree, but She-Hulk (of the legs that go for miles) is a good choice, nonetheless.
suprise cable is on the list let alone him manage to wind up quilifing for the list as a a lawer. and was going to surprised if daredevil did not make the cut at all. though jean loring should be on the list as just jean not eclipso.
What is it with District Attorneys in comics all being beautiful 30 somethings rather than the 50-70 year old curmudgeons on law and order?
Ugh, everyone takes that Shakespeare line out of context and misinterprets it as a knock against lawyers personally made by the bard. In fact, Henry VI (part 2: The Return of the King Henry VI)'s "kill all the lawyers" was said by "Dick the Butcher," a totally trustworthy murderer indeed--you can tell by his name--who decided the first step to adapting revolutionary chaos to his own power-hungry ends was to tear down law and order, by first tearing down everyone who'd stand in his way.
Other than that, a good list indeed.
I just adore She-Hulk, I really do. Its a shame so few writers ever bother utilising her to the fullest, because there really is a solid gold character under the frame of that statuesque Amazon. Far more than just "The Hulk with Tits", as she often gets written off as.
Anyone with an interest in her should check out the first three trades of Dan Slott's run on her solo series, its like a GOOD version of Ally McBeal set in the Marvel universe. Its worth it just for the issue where Spiderman sues the Daily Bugle for libel. Peter David's run on the same book was also great, if cut a tad short.
I completely despised David's change from her as a lawyer to some kind of bounty hunter, while simultaneously excising all the humor and fun from the book. I'm pretty sure if we have anyone to blame for killing the "She-Hulk" title, it's him.
Well, She Hulk was really in decline from the whole Star Fox rape trial onwards. Never really matched up to the first half of Slott's run. I know David's take rankled a lot of people the wrong way, but I personally liked the more mature and serious take on Jen. Not as much as FUN She Hulk, but I still enjoyed it.
She Hulk has never been a character people take seriously, I think that was his attempt to change that. But yes, he did alienate the book's core audience and drive away most of the loyal old fans in the process.
But no humour? I thought the crossover with the Incredible Hercules was pretty fun. Hercules: "She drove off with all my clothes...I feel so used. Do you think she'll call me back?" Athena: "No." Amadeus Cho: "No." Herc: "Damn."
I'm glad Shulkie got #1 spot! And so what if she slept with the Juggernaught, or every other Marvel dude? You don't see Wolverine getting crap for bein' a ho . . .
Those things never happened, as far as I care. She Hulk is the queen of Marvel Comics.
Nice list. If you enjoyed this, check out this cool page that uses law in correlation with superheroes. Some very interesting things here for anyone wondering if Thor's antics can be considered an 'Act of God' or whether or not Marvel's Civil War was indeed legal.*Disclaimer* I have nothing to do with this site. I just thought it was cool and appropriate given today's list.http://lawandthemultiverse.com...
Too bad Animated Lawyers aren't here! Then we would have to include Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law!
Nice list Matt
well Cable can make a good lawyer, "I can defend any client, no one can be as monstruous as Apocalypse or my brother Stryfe or my maternal grand father by science Sinister, thus no case is too hard for me.."& judge Dredd is not a lawyer or a judge he is THE LAW ! Two Face should be a judge : Heads guilty, Tails Innocent!" but sir this is the worst murderer in town!""ENOUGH the coin spoke!"
& poor Jean Loring, identity crisis was shit
I wanna know why David E Kelley tried to do a Wonder Woman show when She-Hulk would have been more up his ally (McBeal).
If more lawyer shows featured mutants and people with shark heads, I would watch them all the time.
Soo, Top Ten is an Alan Moore comic book that features a shark lawyer with a friend who is a brain in a jar. And they aren't even the main characters.
How the fuck have I gone so long without hearing of this before?! Can anybody tell me a good place to start with the series?
Start at the beginning. It comprises 2 Graphic Novels written by Alan Moore. Then a Prequel book that takes place 60 years earlier, also by Moore. Then "Smax", which goes off on a side quest, then ends with I think 2 books of "Top 10: Beyond the Farthest Precinct", which wasn't written by Moore, but TOTALLY respects the characters. All in all a FANTASTIC series.
It's all about superheroes who are cops. Alan Moore did some of his best work on this title.
yup, and really funny too... also, plenty of geeks pop culture hidden throughout the series. It's like "where's wally" only cooler.
One of the characters (the police chief if memory serves) is a dog in an exoskeleton human body.
A small dog, too.
So why did we talk about Foggy's love of Bow Ties but not use a picture of him with one on?
I am also slightly upset at my self for not knowing that Cable had a law degree, and more importantly why does he have one? You would think a medical degree would be more useful for a time traveling warrior
The article was submitted with a picture of a slackjawed Foggy wearing a bow tie but it was apparently too tiny to run.
Let's put it this way, no matter what females skin spectrum are, as long as she got the looks & curves to die for. It's a game.
I am a Judge Dredd fan but I don't think he has a place on this list. Even though they call him a judge he is closer to a cop than a lawyer. I totally agree with She-Hulk as number 1 though.
Judge Dredd.. Judge, Jury, and Executioner in one body.. He deserved top spot, and by not doing this, you've BETRAYED THE LAW!
Were She Hulk and Daredevil ever an item? Ya know, with the lawyer thing and all, it seems like they should be.
Oh c'mon, after She Hulk was done with Juggernaught, no one wanted HIS "sloppy seconds." Let's at least evenly distribute the slutitude.
THAT WAS HER SLUTTY WHOREBAG COUNTERPART FROM UNIVERSE A AND YOU KNOW IT!!! UNIVERSE B SHULKIE REMAINS A PURE, BEAUTIFUL BLOSSOM OF WOMANHOOD (who admittedly has slept with half the heroes of the Marel Universe. Just not the Juggernaut). >:(
Well she didn't know that at the time. And he didn't strip her of her powers fearing she would turn on him, he did it to stop her from beating the living shit out of him when she DID find out what he did to her cousin. Don't mess with Shulkie!
She did sleep with Tony Stark, who's had issues with Hulk before and was even part of the group that shipped him off into space against his will. And what did Jen get for it? Tony injects her with nanotech that takes away her powers, on the theory that she might turn against him, despite being on his side during Civil War (when Stark's side were pretty much the bad guys.)
Sorry I threw the word "Slut" around so freely. But its like Jennifer herself said, the Juggernaut is a supervillain who on numerous occasions HAS TRIED TO KILL HER COUSIN. Why on earth WOULD she sleep with him? There's one issue where she complains to Tony Stark that when he sleeps with someone, he's a player; when she does it, people call her a skank. And Tony Stark is the biggest man-whore I know in comics.
Sorry for the base sexism in my above post, I didn't mean to offend you. And canonically speaking, it WAS her Universe A counterpart who slept with Juggers. It's part of the reason our She-Hulk was so pissed about the accusation, she's a woman of character, not some ditzy interdimensional tourist who had a one night stand with the asshole who almost killed her cuz.
At least she wouldn't have to worry about Bullseye. He'd be mighty disappointed when one of his sharp, pointy things just bounces off her glamorous hide.
You have a point there. Those two are arguably the most promiscuous characters in the Marvel Universe it'd be kinda weird if they never got down.
