   LAWYERS IN LITERATURE AND OTHER FICTION

   Who are your favourite fictional lawyers - and why?

   The less obvious selections the better - so let us all take Rumpole, Mason, Finch, Saul and Hutz as given.

   I have a soft spot for Jonathan Harker - a solicitor going that extra mile for a demanding non-dom client.

     @davidallengreen I can offer two.

     (1) Romo Lampkin (reimagined Battlestar Galactica) [because the character is tough as nails and compellingly corrupt]

     (2) Henry, the lawyer in this gem of a short from the DUST YouTube channel.
