Legal Ethics
ChristianP9611 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The episodes that wrestle with legal ethics are the best ones. What's moral vs what's legal. This episode is an extreme example but the art of storytelling often takes things to extremes in order to unpack them. I think this episode did a great job exploring a moral quandry. The one thing that bothered me was that Eugene reported Jimmy for this but not for stealing a client's money just two episodes ago, something I think he should've been fired for.

On a different note, Jimmy's character is so strange. Sometimes I like him, sometimes I don't. He's like a cute teddy bear with racist, sexist, homophobic tendencies. Then you pull the string on his back and he rips out a 5 minute monologue about how the justice system doesn't serve the people and you're like "hell yeah, go Jimmy!"

A Moral Imperative
Hitchcoc1 July 2022
The case of a young boy, struck by a car, driven by a distracted driver, becomes the setting for an argument of ethics. When the boy is shown to have an aneurism, one that could burst at any time, the firm is told to keep it a secret. Jimmy ignores this and goes to the parents. The boy is saved but this leads to huge legal fallout. Jimmy faces disbarment. He also faces the wrath of Eugene, who turns him in. Quite a thoughtful episode though sort of unrealistic.
