Well, Suits finally did it! After five seasons as a fraud and six episodes as a legal consultant, Mike (Patrick J. Adams) has finally become a lawyer.
'Suits' Season 6, Episode 14 Recap: Mike takes his shot to become a lawyer in "Admission of Guilt"
Mike Ross is finally legit. After six seasons of faking it, along with a detour to investment banking and a prison stint, Mike (Patrick J. Adams) -- with some help from Jessica (Gina Torres) (!) --- passed the bar on Wednesday's Season 6 finale of Suits.
Rachel Elizabeth Zane, J.D. is an attorney and former associate and paralegal at Specter Litt, the daughter of Robert Zane and the wife of Mike Ross.
Nope. In the show so far i.e Season 6, Mike never went to Harvard. Although, he is in the Harvard database and is a practicing attorney.
Finally, some good news. During Wednesday's Suits season finale, Mike officially became a lawyer when he made it into the bar, thanks to a last-minute save from Jessica. The firm's former boss lady came back just in time to take the fall for employing a fraud and to put Anita Gibbs in her place.
Keeping his secret for a number of years, he was eventually found out at the end of season five. He was arrested for the conspiracy to commit fraud and sentenced to two years at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut.
Short answer: no! Many very successful lawyers did not study a first degree in law and, in fact, around half of newly qualified lawyers have a non-law degree. However, there are benefits and drawbacks to entering the legal profession with a non-law degree.
The identity of who turned in Mike Ross has finally been revealed! In tonight's episode, Mike and Harvey discover that Sheila Sazs, Louis Litt's ex-girlfriend, sent an anonymous email to the feds letting them know Mike might be a fraud.
Mike and Rachel are still together – phew! -- but Mike makes a trip back to New York, where he will engage with the rest of the Suits cast still in the office on a case. He'll be opposite his pal Harvey on this case, which could get dramatic.
Rachel eventually gets a 172 on her LSAT, passing the criteria to gain admission into Harvard Law. It is revealed late in season 2 that, despite her score and being a legacy via her father, she does not rate highly enough among all the applicants to get into the next semester's Harvard Law class.
Suits fans were shocked after the Aug. 13 episode when Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman) resigned from Pearson Specter—seconds before Harvey (Gabriel Macht), accompanied by Donna (Sarah Rafferty), was to deliver the news that Jessica (Gina Torres) was firing him.
