    Fan Aug 01 | 10:52 AM When is the episode where he loses it? I could use that escapism right now. Something soothing about watching someone else go postal so it reminds why it's a bad idea.

    Com'on, Nick! Aug 06 | 11:37 PM Doesn't this kid remember that in his interview he agreed it wasn't smart for a lawyer to "just sort of say things?"

    Al Bone Aug 26 | 04:44 AM Very good. The kiss assing associates are perfect. No matter what the d-bag partner says, the kiss ass associates automatically agree and laugh along, even if it is moronic. If anyone else acted so moronic, these same kiss-asses would be the first to put them down. Oh, but if it's the partner, his shit don't stink! In fact, the partner doesn't have to shit at all, and if he does, these kiss asses are the first to be there to "brown nose". Perfect. Keep it up; you have talent over and above res ipsa loquitor.

    Anonymous Sep 02 | 03:02 PM I didn't go to Harvard (I kind of didn't even apply), so I had to look this up in Wikipedia....the staple of my law school. Any way, for the rest of you trolls out there who were equally confused, here it is...bask in the knowledge that Harvard trolls already know. Denotation is the literal meaning of a word or phrase, whereas connotation is the suggestive meaning of a word or phrase. A denotative meaning is the primary meaning, whereas the connotative meaning is the secondary meaning of a word or phrase. This is synonymous with the terms used by contemporary philosophers: extension and intension, for denotation and connotation, respectively.[citation needed] There is a related distinction in linguistics between the objective meaning or denotation of a word such as "vulgar", and the positive or negative association or connotation we attach to such a word. "Vulgar" derives from the Latin word for "common" and literally means ubiquitous, found everywhere, and was its original meaning. The word has now acquired the negative connotation of "gross" or "crudely obscene" (also of showy ostentatiousness). The process of acquiring a negative connotation is known as pejoration.

    Anonymous Jan 06 | 03:50 AM These guys are real a-wipes. I wouldn't laugh just because the a-wipe partner tries to be funny. He's not. He's a lawyer, not a comedian. There is one semi-cute woman there. Is she a lawyer?

    Bob Loblaw Jun 21 | 03:09 PM This episode NAILS everything I hate about lawyers. So sadly true. My friend I referred to this show had to quit watching it after this because the reality made his stomach turn.
