A classic in television broadcasting history was the courtroom scene on "The Good Wife" in which lawyer Will Gardner was fatally shot by his client.
Versions of violence against lawyers by clients have become not uncommon. The latest play out of that essentially resulted in a concussion. The victim was lawyer Justin Baraulick from Minnesota law firm Heller and Thyen.
As the Star Tribune reports, the 39-year-old client had received a sentence of eight years. His name has not been released because he remains a suspect in this new development. As yet, there had been no conviction or guilty plea.
Most legal matters represent high stakes, at least to the clients. When those clients are unhappy with the outcomes - and/or mentally ill - practicing law can become a hazardous business.
In addition, it can also be experienced as demeaning. In his new book "Guilt by Accusation, high-profile lawyer Alan Dershowitz chronicles how his client Jeffry Epstein complained about his services. The beefs ranged from the outcome - that is, the terms and conditions of the plea bargain - to the fee for service.
