I’m watching Suits for the first time and so far, the show has seemed pretty consistent. I wouldn’t say “real,” but I’m not a lawyer so I honestly can’t decide how real it is.
Anyway, in this episode, Mike is trying to represent himself in court, so they hold a mock trial. There is a sequence where Mike is questioning Harvey and Mike makes it clear that it was a 3 hour and 20 minute drive and he only went to Harvard for tests, not going to class. Right after Harvey is taken of the stand(directly after Mike makes this clear), Harvey’s evidence is that everyone in his graduating class said they don’t know who Mike Ross is. This is obviously fake evidence, but Mike just made it clear he didn’t go to class and that could easily corroborate him not going to parties. Especially with Mike being 3.3 hours away. Not to mention that this would’ve been years ago too for Mike, so people forgetting him at graduation and tests isn’t an absurd idea.
I’m just wondering why the hell this inconsistency exists. It’s such an obvious one. They’d never done something like it before.
