Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'The Street Lawyer' would be an appropriate nickname for Joe Pesci's character in "My Cousin Vinny" (1992); Vinny was able to utilize evidence involving tire marks on a car to help win his case. What is Vinny's last name?

Answer: Gambini

Vinny Gambini had no trial experience when he was able to finagle himself into defending his cousin Bill Gambini (played by Ralph Macchio) in a first-degree murder case. Vinny's proficiency as a 'Street Lawyer' enabled him to rule out Bill's Buick as the car used at the scene of the crime.
2. Atticus Finch may be considered 'The Tweet Lawyer' due to the bird in his last name as well as the avian title of the book featuring him. Who authored "To Kill a Mockingbird", creating Atticus Finch?

Answer: Harper Lee

Gregory Peck won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his 1962 portrayal of Atticus Finch. This 'Tweet Lawyer' is one of fiction's most illustrious lawyers, revered for supporting a social outcast and victim of prejudices, as well as criticized for being complicit in perpetuating institutionalized discrimination.

In all, Atticus Finch remains a hero that his daughter Scout, as the book's narrator, looks up to.
3. On account of a lot of her work involves maintaining an appearance of classiness, 'The Chic Lawyer' might be an appropriate moniker for this former lawyer and 'fixer' on the television series "Scandal" (2012-2018). What is the name of Kerry Washington's character in "Scandal"?

Answer: Olivia Pope

Olivia Pope is a crisis manager specializing in 'fixing' political scandals. With clever camera clicking scene transitions, the importance of being vigilant of one's appearance is a central theme of the show throughout its seven seasons. "Vanity Fair" attests to Olivia Pope's chicness - they named her one of the top ten best-dressed characters of the year in 2013.
4. Saul Goodman could be deemed 'The Sneak Lawyer' for several reasons. He first met Walter White in which TV series?

Answer: Breaking Bad

Bob Odenkirk starred as Saul Goodman, who first appeared in "Breaking Bad" in Season 2 in 2009. The episode in which he was introduced had the same title as his spin-off prequel series, "Better Call Saul". Saul Goodman was born James McGill, and assumed the pseudonym during TV ads he produced while his law license was suspended.

His sneakiness is prevalent throughout "Breaking Bad", as his main function is assisting Walter White and others in laundering drug money.
5. What is the name of 'The Deceit Lawyer' who manages to continue to find work in "The Simpsons" (1989- ) television series despite regularly deceiving everyone, including his clientele?

Answer: Lionel Hutz

Lionel Hutz is a rather stereotypical 'ambulance chaser'. He first shows up when Bart gets hit by a car in Season 2 of the "The Simpsons". Due to his appalling ineptitude and repeated deception, Marge even commented once that they should stop hiring him as their attorney. Lionel Hutz claimed to have attended Princeton for law school, though Princeton has not had a law school program in over 100 years.

The character of Lionel Hutz was retired from "The Simpsons" when the actor who voiced him, Phil Hartman, died.
6. Both because she encourages uplifting support in every endeavor, and because she douses her résumé in perfume, the lawyer played by Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blonde" (2001) could be considered 'The Sweet Lawyer'. Which author created Elle Woods?

Answer: Amanda Brown

"Legally Blonde" was originally a 2001 novel by Amanda Brown. A musical adaptation of "Legally Blonde" was created in 2007. Elle Woods' sweetness is abundantly exhibited in how she insists on a box of compliments to foster healthier relationships amongst everyone around her when she noticed the environment seemed toxic.

It ends up being one of her greatest strengths as a lawyer and as a person, this positivity and optimism.
7. Constantly playing second fiddle to the Marvel Comics superhero Daredevil, Franklin Percy Nelson is a viable candidate for being 'The Backseat Lawyer'. By what meteorological-sounding nickname is Mr. Nelson more commonly known?

Answer: Foggy

Foggy Nelson is the best friend of Matt Murdock (AKA Daredevil). Foggy is confident and adept as a lawyer in his own right, but it would be difficult for anyone to live in the shadow of a blind superhero. Foggy first appeared in Daredevil #1 in April 1964, remaining Matt Murdock's loyal best friend throughout their history together despite vying for the affections of the same love interest. Foggy generally handled himself well, but is certainly 'The Backseat Lawyer' when it comes to Matt Murdock.
8. Although many fictitious lawyers could be considered this, Annalise Keating had an impressive Harvard law school background and courageous advocacy efforts in difficult situations that amply qualify her as an 'Elite Lawyer'. Which television series' main character is the indomitable Annalise Keating?

Answer: How to Get Away with Murder

Annalise Keating teaches and mentors law students at fictional Middleton University in Philadelphia. From the start of the series, she and her students were embroiled in intense, dangerous circumstances that required quick thinking and employing every creative legal tactic they could conceive of in order to survive. Possibly amongst Annalise Keating's most elite achievements is having successfully argued a case in which she advocated against systemic racism and oppression in front of the United States Supreme Court in the fourth season of the show.
9. Concealing his identity entirely, since he is actually Satan, Al Pacino's character in "The Devil's Advocate" (1997) can be considered 'The Discreet Lawyer'. By what name does Satan operate discreetly as a lawyer in this movie?

Answer: John Milton

As a rather unceremonious, irreverent, and devilishly clever allusion to the author of "Paradise Lost", Al Pacino's character is named John Milton in "The Devil's Advocate". Discretion is part of Al Pacino's modus operandi as long as he can manage it, for revealing himself as Satan would obviously foil his attempts to keep the human pawns around him pacified and malleable.
10. For which of the following reasons would it be appropriate to refer to either JoAnne Galloway or Daniel Kaffee from "A Few Good Men" (1992) as 'The Fleet Lawyer'?

Answer: They were each lawyers for the U.S. Navy

Lieutenant Commander JoAnne Galloway, played by Demi Moore, and Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee, played by Tom Cruise, are two of the main characters in "A Few Good Men". The two are naval lawyers who defend two U.S. Marines accused of murdering a fellow Marine at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. Galloway and/or Kaffee being granted the sobriquet 'Fleet Lawyer' would be because of their associations with fleets of ships in the Navy.
