And TV. Real life lawyering isn’t nearly interesting enough so writers have to zhush it up by having lawyer characters operate in the grey area or completely cross the line as a matter of course. It’s more exciting that way! |

Real lawyers will mostly do things like inflate hours, inflate conflicts, exaggerate expected outcomes, and generally blow things up so as to maximize billable hours rather than acting in the interests of their client. That doesn't make good TV either.
