Legal professionals tend to immerse themselves in fact-based realities; operations, regulations, and codes of conduct are all grounded in hard-set truths. Yet, every once in a while, a dip into the world of legal fiction can offer an intriguing perspective on “alternative” legal practice who push the boundaries far beyond what any ethical committee would permit.
Take for instance, the famed fictional law firm Wolfram & Hart, which first appeared in a well-known television series. The Los Angeles and Rome offices primarily grab our attention, but making this firm particularly unique is its reach; it transcends the international, dipping into the distinctly otherworldly with an inter-dimensional scope. And its unorthodox approach to talent sourcing certainly rings a bell or two, especially with its “Non-Human Resources Department.”
More information is available here for those intrigued by this unusual firm. This playfully evil twist on the contemporary law firm structure sends out a clear reminder – even in alternate realities populated with demons and vampires, the need for legal counsel prevails.
So, whether your day-to-day legal practice involves navigating complex tax codes or drafting intricate merger agreements, always remember: Some alternate version of you might just be working to interpret inter-dimensional treaty obligations – and fending off the office resident supernatural creature.
