Top 6 in Top 20 Best Legal Movies of All Time
Julia Roberts stars as a true-life paralegal and spunky single mom whose tenacious inquiry into a dubious real estate case uncovers a practice of illegal dumping of highly hazardous hexavalent chromium and one of the country's largest class action lawsuits. Ed Masry, her supervisor, is played by Albert Finney.
“Do they teach lawyers to apologize?" she asks him in the movie's lawyer line."Cause you suck at it.”
Trivia: The real Brockovich and the real Masry make cameo appearances in a restaurant.
