send lawyers, guns and a happymeal

Where are the riveting courtroom drama movies of years past?


"Presumed Innocent" 
"Erin Brockovich"  
"A Few Good Men"
"Kramer vs. Kramer" 
"Runaway Jury"
"Happymeal-gate"

Alright, the last one was never made into a movie. 
 
Years ago during some random clicking and link following I stumbled upon the Happymeal-gate
story.

Happymeal-gate - are we ever going to get past the watergate thing?

Short story (a brief?) - Hot shot Chicago lawyer told a judge that she was

"a few French Fries short of a Happy Meal"

and he almost lost his license in that court. He was dropped by the client and probably (I'm guessing) a few fries short on his year-end bonus.

Hmm - wonder if he had used "a few clowns short of a circus" instead perhaps the judge would have let it go?

This could be a new version of that Warren Zevon song.
 

Send lawyers guns and a happymeal,
the Big Mac about to hit the fan.
