Great Fictional Lawyers, Three


Time for some more Saturday fun with the third in my series of Great Fictional Lawyers. Today's is:

Barry Zuckercorn, the family lawyer for the Bluth family in Arrested Development.

Education: Unknown, although according to his ads and Lucille Bluth, "He's very good."



Credentials and Big Cases: In addition to representing the Bluth family in their case (which involved SEC investigations and "a little light treason") Zuckercorn also represented himself in a criminal case of unknown origin, defended a man accused of something involving a woman alleged to be faking her pregnancy, threw a book at a former prosecutor, and was sued for sexual harassment (and lost.) Also, he microwaved a Ding Dong while still in its wrapper.



Notable Quotes:

Barry Zuckerkorn: So basically you're about 2,000 shares short of being the majority stock holders. Now unfortunately it's a private stock so you can not just buy up the shares unless someone is willing to sell

Michael: Are you sure?

Barry Zuckerkorn: That's what it said on 'Ask Jeeves'

_________________________________________________

Barry: I got Michael out of his marriage, didn’t I?

Michael: Actually she died.

Barry: You’re kidding me. I’ve been taking credit for that for years.

Michael: Credit?

Barry: You know what? Don’t get too close to me. ’Cause I’ve got an itch you can’t believe. I think something laid eggs on me.
