* CreateYourOwnVillain: Harvey As a result of the ChronicBackstabbingDisorder endemic in the firm, a shocking number of antagoists were ether former members of the firm, or attorney's who had been mistreaned by them. Justified or not.
** This is actually playfully applied in the last season when Harold starts ahabing Louis. Louis despised Harold when he worked under him because he could never train him correctly resulting in serious errors that nearly cost the firm hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, rather than let him wash-out, Louis intentionally kept him in so he could use him like a chew toy demeaning him andJessica did harrassing him at every turn. His dethroaning moment of suck was when he forced Harold to take care of his cat despite Harold being fatally alergic to cats. Louis is then shocked when Harold jumps at every oportunity to get at him, poaching his client and even outmanouvering during a case. Louis confronts him of being ungreatful and disloyal. Harold points out that Louis' mistreatment nearly KILLED HIM and even Louis is given pause. Of course Louis' ego ensures this with Louis, doesn't take, and arguably Daniel Hardman.he starts using using dirty tricks to end Harold career out of spite. Eventually, Rachel intervens and points out that he's being unreasonable and it's not fair to end his career because of his inferoity complex. Louis actually agrees, stands down and let's Harold win.

* [[OverRankedSoldier Over Ranked Managing Partner.]] A realistic example. Jessica joined the firm in 2003 and became managing partner in 2011. While an attorney can easily make junior partner, or partner in a smaller firm, their is no way someone could come to the top of a top Law Firm in only eight years. However, Jessica's rise is a result of being Daniel Hardeman's number two when he launched he coup. She then, justifablly, pushed him out. However, the department heads hate her and view her as an upstart. The result is she needs to play XanatosSpeedChess constantly to remain in charge. It has also made her ''very'' cagey at the concept of disloyalty.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: In this universe, every attorney uses dirty tricks to win. ''Everyone.'' Rather than collapse the system it instead enables it, as it forces the victim to accept the purportators actions lest their own be expossed. And if a purportrator doesn't have anything on another attorney, it's a simply matter to find someone who does. As a result, everyone can be as unethical as they wish and The New York Bar operates on a system of mutually assured destruction.

** Arguably, the whole series. Hiring a guy without a law degree sounds like a wacky hijink, but it was a massively stupid move, and it comes back to bite everyone involved again and again.
** Once someone starts digging into Mike's past, it is very easy to discover that he never went to Harvard despite the fact that the university's records have been altered. A basic background check reveals that Mike was living and working in New York while he was supposedly a full time student at Harvard.
** [[spoiler: Jessica]] didn't even need to do that to figure it out. Mike, despite now having been hacked into graduating Harvard Law, doesn't have a fake Bachelor's degree from anywhere, which people usually need to get into Harvard Law in the first place. Technically, it's possible to get into a post-graduate program without a Bachelor's degree, but it's rather exceptional, and usually due to someone having decades of experience in the field or a foreign degree, neither of which logically could apply to Mike.
** He also doesn't know much about the culture of Harvard Law and frequently gets caught on knowing things that every graduate should know, such as where to get square pizza on campus or the Harvard song. [[spoiler:He finally outs himself when he doesn't recognize a strange key in Louis's things, which is something that is given to any Harvard student who graduates at the top of his or her class, which Mike supposedly did]].
** Additionally, while he has a record in the Harvard database, the hacker who put it there didn't know that a certain professor ''never ever'' gives students an A+. Only a Harvard graduate would know that. Mike is forced to improvise by claiming that [[spoiler:he failed the class and altered the grade while the professor was out of the room]].

** Later in the season, Mike [[spoiler: is finally exposed and immediately arrested for fraud. The entire firm is now in the crosshairs with massive investigations and threats of disbarrment.

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: New York State allows persons who are "reading the law" to take the bar exam. "Reading the law" means that rather than attending law school, the applicant has instead studied under a judge or practicing attorney for an extended period of time. In-universe, Mike's practical experience at Pearson-Hardman would probably qualify him under the "reading the law" exception. However, New York State requires that such persons have completed at least one year of law school study (Rule 520.4 for the Admission of Attorneys). This would disqualify Mike from being allowed to take the bar exam without being able to provide proof of that year of study. Given this, Mike's assertion in the pilot episode that he had, in fact, already passed the bar is likely a reference to his having taken and passed the bar exam as part of his illegal side-business of taking exams for other people.
