The central plot of Suits rests on Mike Ross practicing law without any legal credentials. This setup is highly unrealistic. In real life, law firms—especially prestigious ones like Pearson Hardman—conduct strict background checks. Mike’s lack of a law degree and bar certification would have been discovered immediately. The show suggests that his photographic memory and intelligence made him a valuable asset, but this doesn’t excuse the blatant fraud. Realistically, Harvey could have mentored Mike to attend law school and earn his degree. The premise, while absurd, adds tension and makes the story undeniably engaging.
