In my law in culture review, I was able to watch scandal. Scandal is a show about how a group of paralegals in a private law firm call them self’s gladiators. When it comes to paralegals of course you’re going to need the main lawyer to carry out the law which is named Olivia Pope. The show first aired in April 2012 with 7 amazing seasons. This show won many awards like NAACP Image Award, Peabody Award, BET Award for Best Actress, and many more.
The show only deals with criminal cases, no civil cases sadly but it does make the show more interesting. I think they do a pretty good job at portraying a real paralegal and lawyer, but it could be a little dramatic, It could just be the show side. 1 paralegal named Quinn Perkins, we saw her do a lot of things for Olivia. For example, she was able to file papers, interview clients, and many more.
My favorite episode was when a paralegal accidentally signed a paper that Olivia was supposed to sign. I watched the whole episode on how they went to court and the judge was confused on who Quinn was and the case was lost, and she lost her job for it and the law firm rep was ruined. I want to see how the show continues when I keep watching it. We even saw an appeal that went to the supreme court and many more different types of appeals.
