Role Model: Lori Colson of Boston Legal

Lori Colson an attorney of the television series Boston Legal is a role model. She is a Junior Partner of the firm formerly known as Crane, Poole and Schmidt. After working a criminal case with Edwin Poole who had lost his mind, she challenged herself more by continuing. She wanted to get closer to her clients. Paul Lewiston often turns to Lori when he is looking to keep the firms image intact. She is also very good friends with Shirley Schmidt.

Paul Lewiston has asked her many times to second chair for Denny Crane. She also does not like the tactics used by Alan Shore and readily states her disapproval, although she secretly wants to be his lover because he is such a bad boy. She has crossed the same line as Alan Shore when it comes to ethics when it comes to the emotional welfare of her client.

Lori has very high morals and values, and looks to keep her work life separated from her personal life, so she does not look for sexual relations at work. Although all the sexual high-ginks in the office does takes its toll on her. She can handle the politics of the office but not the sexual politics. She does not like sexual bandore which is very much part of the office. Brad Chase, a fellow attorney and co-worker and friend, is in love with her and Lori knows he wants her. Brad can tell she has an interest in Alan Shore. Brad often comes to her to consult with his cases. The one thing she can be depended upon is asking the hard questions.

She knows when she can win a case and like many of the other attorneys at Crane, Poole and Schmidt is up for a challenge, and understands when it is time to move on.
