I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous.
Today I'm taking a break from representing clients and teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth.
This is part of a continuing series of "Lawyer Reaction" videos. Got a legal movie or TV show you'd like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!
All clips used for fair use commentary, criticism, and educational purposes. See Hosseinzadeh v. Klein, 276 F.Supp.3d 34 (S.D.N.Y. 2017); Equals Three, LLC v. Jukin Media, Inc., 139 F. Supp. 3d 1094 (C.D. Cal. 2015).
Typical legal disclaimer from a lawyer (occupational hazard): This is not legal advice, nor can I give you legal advice. Sorry!

@@richardwallis9374 Yeah, I'd argue this is really bad and inexcusable. You put the suspect under duress and _make_ them confess. It's manipulation and you basically can't know if the confession is honest anymore, a confession made under such circumstances where the suspect is made to believe they have no choice or face worse consequences whether it's true or not should absolutely not be accepted by the court. Same with cases where they interrogate the suspect for days on end until they become delirious and just needs it to end no matter what (which I would argue is mental torture). If the prosecutors have to resort to such tactics, it should hurt their case, not win it. The system doesn't care about putting the culprit behind bars, it cares about blaming _someone_ .

I don't think the myth was ever that it was a hard rule, but rather that if someone disappeared for less than 24 hours, absent evidence of a crime, police didn't want to take a report because there's a chance they're not really missing. If you saw them shoved into a van, that's a completely different situatuion than they didn't come home last night. (EDIT) Of course, different rules apply for children. One of my classmates in Elementary School missed his bus and tried to walk to school but didn't know the route and got lost. The police were absolutely involved due to his age and he was found safely.

As an English lawyer specialising in wills and probate I was only ever once asked to read the will. I explained it wasn't necessary but they insisted. They were a lovely family and there were no nasty surprises, everyone going away happy. The big legal lie I had to debunk several times was common-law marriage, or marriage by cohabitation and repute as it used to be called. There used to be a strong belief this was a thing, but the concept was abolished in 1753 in England and Wales. I came across a lady who went to see a divorce lawyer to seek a divorce, only for him to conclude after careful enquiry that she could not get a divorce because she had never actually been married.
@daleinaz1 Жыл бұрын
Common-law marriage used to be -umm, common - in many USA states due to records getting lost over the years, but most of those were repealed in the 1960s-1970s because they didn't want those darn hippies getting the benefits of marriage just because they lived together for the required number of years (often seven). That was the irony of the Lee Marvin "palimony" case, had California not repealed their common-law marriage law, Lee and Michelle would have been considered married due to how long they had cohabited.

Not sure how the line of questioning actually went in that case, but the term "suggesting" infers they said "Should I get a lawyer ?" and the police would usually answer with something like "Do you want a lawyer ?" If the suspect says yes, the interrogation has to conclude then and there, but if they reply anything that isn't a clear indication of that right, the interrogation can and will continue without further precision unless brought up again by the suspect. The police will ask you directly once, when you're read your rights, if you want a lawyer and that's when you should say "yes" and not say another word. If you don't, it is assumed you consent in waivering that right to proceed with the interrogation until you bring it back up.

As a member of a search and rescue unit in a mountainous county, our county's sheriff's office definitely gets, and acts on, missing person reports well before 24 hours, often just a couple hours, or less, dispatching the relevant first responders. The prospect of finding someone well is dramatically better sooner rather than later. Dispatch can assess risks.

Pretty sure a common trend in SVU is to lie to culprits so they end up confessing in exchange for a lighter sentence. Know it's a tv show so it might not be entirely accurate, but I doubt cops have their hands tied when it comes to lying.

Pit bosses aren’t going to beat you up, it’s not the 1950s or whenever the mob really completely ran a ton of Vegas casinos. In the 2010s and on, if you get caught counting (and you’re really an advantage player that is beating the casino then they’ll just either ban you from the casino or ban you from playing blackjack at that casino. Not gonna be any physical harm, but in the mob days that was a thing)…a lot of people “count” or think they’re good but they’re really still losing or at best breaking even. Or not betting properly while counting etc. Or even if they’re maybe counting, they’re degenerate gamblers and get tilted when they lose and their strategy goes out the window and they do really dumb, very -EV stuff to try and chase their losses or go gamble at high stakes in other games like roulette or craps. The casino will still want your business if you’re one of these people since you’re still going to end up losing a lot of money there. And ya it’s not illegal you won’t get arrested…unless like he said you’re using some sort of illegal devices or marking the cards in some way.

@chronoxtreme2427 2 жыл бұрын
They can do that. Legally, police are not required to provide a lawyer right away and can keep interrogating you while you are detained. In fact, there are multiple cases where statements about lawyers have been interpreted to not invoke Miranda rights, i.e., "Can I talk to my lawyer?" or "When will you get me a lawyer?" The best thing you can ever do in that situation is say, "I refuse to speak to you without my lawyer present. I am invoking my right to an attorney." And then shut up. Don't say anything. Police will try to act friendly with you, joke, etc. to get a reaction out of you and lower your guard. Don't fall for it. You invoke your right to an attorney and you stay silent until that attorney gets there. Even before you are read your Miranda rights, you should not talk to the police as much as possible. This is because any statement you make during the arrest before they read you your rights is admissable in court. Tell them, "My lawyer has advised me to not speak with the police unless they (the lawyer) are present." (Silence without being read your Miranda rights can be interpreted as guilty behavior by the prosecution). Then keep quiet. Once you are detained, specifically tell them that you will not speak to them without your lawyer present in the room with you, and that you are invoking your right to an attorney. Then go silent and unresponsive until your lawyer is present. Police can and will try to manipulate your words to say that you didn't invoke your Miranda rights so they don't have to bring in a lawyer. This is why you must be explicit with your language. Don't get sassy or cute or waver. "I refuse to speak to you without my lawyer present. I invoke my right to an attorney." Even then police will try and find ways to stall or get you to confess. It's a messed up system, but that script is your best bet to avoiding the most common pitfalls you'll face when being arrested.

If you're confessing to a crime you didn't commit, that's on you. If they tell you your parents already confessed that they knew you were doing criminal stuff and gave the police evidence, I'm not seeing any world where the reaction you should have it "Ahh well, even though I know I'm innocent I guess I must have done it!" and not "You're lying or my parents are." Why would you trust the testimonial of whoever it is they say is implicating you? That's like believing the school shit-stirrer "You won't believe what x said about y!"

If I can actually convince you you've robbed someone before, you don't really have a reason to not do it again if pushed. Especially given that you're literally fighting for your life in a police interrogation, how are you so resigned to just accepting whatever you are told? I highly doubt most people are susceptible to it, especially people are 100% sure of the truth. If you're 100% sure you cannot be convinced otherwise. If you can be convinced, you cannot be 100% sure. Just by the very nature of what sureness is. If you know you didn't do something but someone convinces you you did it, then you weren't 100% sure. Which you should be about things you have done.

It feels like it's just part of the game. But I always assumed it was still a thing since casino aren't particularly known to be fair anyway.

The reading of the will has always been interesting to me, particularly as one of my main practices is Trusts and Estates. In my current state it clearly isn't a requirement. But I can remember 20 years ago actually getting pulled into a room with my family in Connecticut where an attorney discussed the distribution provisions my grandfather's will. To this day I'm not sure if the attorney believed they had to read the will, or if after 20 years I've completely misremembered it (although I initially recalled it more than a decade ago when I started law school).

how do we define "missing person" legally? if i choose to go on vacation for a week, and have few friends of family so just don't really tell anyone, but some others notice, is this a missing person? if i decide i don't want to talk to people anymore and start a life alone and secluded, is this person "missing"? does a person have to be physically taken by another person or be lost somewhere to be "missing"? if the person is lost somewhere, but perfectly happy being there, and knows they eventually will be fine and can take care of it themselves, is this person "missing" for that period of time? where is the specific specific line?
@daleinaz1 Жыл бұрын
I don't think there is a legal definition. If a person is reported missing, the police will take into account the relationship of the person making the report to the missing person. If I report my next door neighbor missing, but I don't know his phone number or family, they may take a report, but won't really search too hard. They will probably ask other neighbors, and try to contact family, but unless something else looks awry (mail piling up, evidence of forced entry, etc), not much will happen. But if said neighbor is a frail elderly person, they might try to contact family for a welfare check, perhaps even forcing entry to the house, because he might be laying on the floor with a broken hip. OTOH, if I report my spouse missing, and can provide work location, car license, cell phone number, etc, that will be taken more seriously and looked at a little harder. They might check for credit card activity, put out a BOLO on the car, see if the phone is online, and so on. When I was in college (45 years ago), living alone and between relationships, I took off one weekend and drove up to a mountain town 100 miles away just for a change of scenery. If anything had happened to me, my boss would have known when I didn't show up to work the next week, but he didn't know that I left for the weekend. My parents might have called after a few days, but we didn't talk more than maybe twice a month. If I didn't pay the rent at the first of the month, they would have called after the due date, but I don't think they would have really taken any action for a month. So I could have run off the road down a side canyon, and it might have been a month before anyone really started looking for me. I didn't have many credit cards, nor a cell phone, so I could have gone missing for a long time.

The thing about the reading of the will is interesting. I was talking to a lawyer in England a few days ago, and apparently it really does happen sometimes that they get all the heirs together in a room and go through the will with them. She said it is rare, and as you might imagine, it is generally when one or more of the heirs feel that they haven't been treated fairly. It's not a pleasant experience.
