Exactly What It Says on the Tin. These are mooks in suits, used for intimidation. When a character in a story feels he's been wronged (or feels he can get away with breaking the law), he'll often threaten to call upon his army of lawyers. Especially when said character is rich. (Sometimes, the army is called "my legal team", same diff. In other words, lawyer overkill.) Sometimes that Army can actually be seen in a show, and when they are, they are invariably marching in ranks behind the character, in step and double-file (and often with an added parodic sound effect of marching jackboots). Occasionally it will be a team of Yes Men or Middle-Management Mooks rather than lawyers, but with the same effect: a martial show of force in a corporate or legal setting. Sometimes the Army will be acting on behalf of an unseen (usually evil) client, all members of the Army working toward one ominous goal. Compare Evil Lawyer Joke, You Wanna Get Sued?. No direct relation to the possibility that The Army will press charges on someone and use the best lawyers they have, even though that possibility could involve an Army of Lawyers and is very scary once you give it a few seconds' thought. |

In Civilization: Call to Power and its sequel, once you reach the Modern Era, you can train Lawyers and Corporate Branches to wage economic warfare on your enemies. Ordinary army-units are mostly helpless against them, too - only Lawyers can fight Lawyers. And they're really, really effective. This means that unless it ends before you develop that far, a multiplayer match will inevitably devolve into an earth-shattering confrontation between two competing armies of briefcase-wielding, suit-wearing lawyers (and corporate branches). | |

The law firm of Wolfram & Hart from Angel. On a few occasions, Angel couldn't finger someone for murder because, as a vampire with no surname or social security card, he couldn't testify to it in a court of law. The firm made itself a nuisance in a variety of other ways, such as punching holes in the deed to Angel's headquarters, or getting a city order to fumigate the place. (The exterminators didn't spray for bugs, they planted them.) |

The Simpsons C. Montgomery Burns has a team of lawyers but usually only the Blue Haired Lawyer talks. The episode "The Joy of Sect" had the Movementarians call out their lawyers (in the style of some firemen) when they've realised that Marge managed to break her family out. The aforementioned blue-haired lawyer is one of them and again the only one that talks. |

It's mentioned many times in The Dresden Files that Gentleman Johnny Marcone has an army of lawyers to protect him from any kind of legal charges. Considering that they manage to get charges against him from the FBI thrown out of court, they must be very good indeed... though it's also none too subtly implied that Marcone supplements their efforts with the judicious application of large bribes and large campaign donations. | |

In Big Eyes, Walter brings lawyers from the Gannett Company to the trial to defend him. This turns out to be a subversion, since the lawyers were only there to point out that Gannett were immune from defamation prosecution since they were reporting on a person's claims in relation to a significant public event, and hence were protected by the First Amendment. They leave as soon as the judge dismisses the case against them, leaving Walter to defend himself for actually making the defamatory allegation. | |

Discworld: There's an army of lawyers surrounding the Lavish family in Making Money, although they're mostly there to threaten other Lavishes. They're subjected to a very efficient Conservation of Ninjutsu by Mr. Slant, who as the narration points out, didn't just write the book, but wrote half the books in the city on the subject of law (he's a zombie, so he's been around for several lifetimes). The moment he unleashes his Death Glare, the Lavishes' collective legal team sits down. They may not be literal lawyers, but Lord Vetinari occasionally gets a similar visual effect by having a couple of his "dark clerks" act as Living Props when he needs to have a few stern words with someone. The Elf Queen summons an army of lawyers in The Wee Free Men; the one thing the Nac Mac Feegle are scared of. Then it turns out they have a defence counsel in the form of Chekhov's minor comic-relief character... |

Better Call Saul: In "Something Stupid", Huell Babineaux is arrested for assaulting a plainclothes cop who was questioning Jimmy (he hit the guy with a bag of sandwiches, not realizing he was a police officer). The prosecutor's office wants to throw the book at him per the controversial three-strikes laws of New Mexico. As a favor to Jimmy, Kim orchestrates a massive scam to strong-arm the DA into accepting a lenient plea offer. Her first step is to get the ADA riled up, which she does by showing up at the courthouse accompanied by three associate attorneys from Schweikart & Cokely. Kim pitches Ericsen an offer of several months probation for Huell. Ericsen refuses. Which prompts the associates to all file discovery motions to collect evidence backing Huell's story, and Kim to then add that she's looking into civil rights litigation on Huell's behalf. Ericsen dismisses the associates, and privately chides Kim, warning her that these "shock-and-awe" tactics won't sway her. This puts Ericsen and Kim at odds, as Kim waits for the table to be set for Jimmy's part of the scam (a manufactured groundswell of public support). In season 5, Kim's disillusionment with her Mesa Verde work for Schweikart & Cokely hits a breaking point when Mesa Verde decides to use all of their attorneys to evict Everett Acker from his home which is in the way of a call center they plan to build in Tucumcari. |

For once, actually used on the good side in Denial. Defendant, real historian Deborah Lipstadt, winds up with a dozen people working on her case, thanks to its historic importance, while plaintiff, Holocaust denier David Irving, is alone on his side of the room, representing himself. Irving is somewhat Genre Savvy about this trope, however, as he's compared himself to David vs Goliath a few times, and is aware of how it will look to the reporters. | |

Daredevil: One flashback in "Nelson v. Murdock" depicts when Matt and Foggy were interning at Landman & Zack. We see them sitting on the legal team, who take up the length of a boardroom table, representing Roxxon, who are bringing damages against a whistleblower who violated his confidentiality agreement to report substandard working conditions to his doctor that caused him to contract cancer. Matt can tell from his heightened senses that the man is telling the truth, and decides that he doesn't want to be protecting a corporation from someone who really needs help, and convinces Foggy they should just go start their own practice. | |

Referenced in at least one episode of Murder, She Wrote, when, being confronted, the episode's villain challenges Fletcher over the "battalion of lawyers" she can expect. Fletcher's answer is having — accurately — noticed a subtle thing the killer did at one point that inspired the victim to take a pill. The tone of the scene is that and other details like it leave the killer defeated. | |

Mentioned on The West Wing when a congressman asks Josh to help him secure more money for a government lawsuit against tobacco companies. When Josh protests that the case has already consumed $30 million in federal money, the congressman lets him know that just one of the five tobacco companies involved has 342 lawyers on the case. (They're also outspending the government 10-to-1.) | |

Rutherford Falls: Double Subverted. After Terry sends a lawsuit his way, Nathan claims to Terry that he has the backing of Rutherford Inc., who will surely send a team of lawyers his way to back him up. They send...one, a wimp who got his junior associate position through nepotism, and whom Terry easily sends a way with his tail between his legs. Following that, Rutherford Inc. then sends a legitimate team of lawyers led by PR head Kaitlyn herself; they even show up in a helicopter and Power Walk to the casino. | |
