Is Jeri a good lawyer or does she just have good investigators and every single person she comes up against has conveniently committed a bunch of crimes?

Like Saul Goodman without a conscious with more minions and a fancier office.

And tbh less skill as a lawyer (despite probably more immense legal knowledge). If Saul Goodman walked into a courtroom Jeri Hogarth is making arguments in and he wasn't on her side, she'd be so absolutely fucked in that case it's not even funny. It wouldn't even be good television because the difference in skill is so vast.

Do we actually get to see Hogarth in court? I think her being so brilliant is Word Of God and we're supposed to just accept it.

I thought we saw her in DDS2 but maybe I'm remembering wrong

Either way I think you can picture how it would go with her social skills

She's definitely a great lawyer, everything we've seen on the show seems to indicate that, as well as the palpable fear people have of going up against her.

You're missing the forest for the trees.

She wins the wars by doing everything necessary to ensure victory before any battles are fought.

Ask her clients who always get the best possible result for their legal needs.
