Suits vs. real life corporate lawyers?

[aldric13]

I was wondering how the show Suits differs from real life law firms and corporate lawyers. What are some similarities and differences? Thanks!

99.99% of what you see in the show is wrong. I think they do have the architecture of the law firm building pretty true-to-life, but even the interior decor is not even close to what you'd find in a real law firm.

Seriously. Do not take ANY representation of lawyers or law firms or crime labs or the police or detectives or judges or anything on TV or in the movies as even slightly true to life. If they made a TV series about real corporate law work no one would watch it because watching someone sit at a desk for 12-15 hours a day is not something most people find interesting.
