NYLJ Article on David E.Kelley's "The Firm"

We knew it was coming. Reality TV has invaded the
legal community. A recent article in the New York
Law Journal introduces us to the The Firm,
a reality show slated to debut on July 28. According
to the article, the show will feature real-life young
lawyers from around the country "arguing real cases
in front of real judges, with the one attorney
eventually [winning] a $250,000 jackpot."

The article cites several choice comments from
New York attorneys contacted for their
reaction to the show's concept.
