Petrocelli Was The First Road Warrior Mobile Lawyer

Most lawyers have a story about why they became lawyers, and they start with Perry Mason episodes. While my story was that I wanted to delay service in VietNam and found law school was a 3 year delay that turned into a short active duty stint, I really got the idea for mobile lawyering in the mid Seventies, when a two season TV series about a lawyer living in a beat up small RV became popular. Ever since then, the dream has been to be able to get out and meet the clients where they live. Tony Petrocelli didn't have the benefit of remote computing and technology; but, the character was the embodiment of a lawyer not trapped in a high rise glass covered office building. This is one of the first episodes, and makes great quarantine viewing. Join me back in the Seventies. It was an interesting decade.
