As he becomes enmeshed in this unfamiliar world, Mike relies heavily on the firm’s best paralegal Rachel (Megan Markle, “Horrible Bosses”) and Harvey's no-nonsense assistant Donna (Sarah Rafferty, “Brothers & Sisters”) to help him serve justice.

Because he muds

[@savegas2008]

S1 is the exception. S3+ is his normal look from all his previous roles. Your perception is he grew rounder. But reality is he shrunk to very skinny before filming this. I remember a part he had in one of the CSIs in the 2000s, he was more round then, than S1 suits.

He could have hired him as a Paralegal and he could have been a lawyer later by proving his caliber

[@bumblebee7384]

Paralegals for companies like Pearson Hardman still need a bachelor’s degree. Paralegals like Rachel has a bachelor’s degree. Mike was dropped from college due to his cheat sheet for the dean’s daughter.

[@imogenonscreen8054]

True I'm sure if Harvey had Jessica meet Mike she'd have agreed to hire him as a paralegal too and after he proved his skills at the firm with all of Harvey and Jessica's connections you'd think getting him into a law school wouldn't have been a problem.

[@nemdenemam9753]

Yeah, thats pretty much my biggest strife with the show. It added so much unnecessary drama that I think really hindered the show. The best parts are when Mike and Harvey work on a case, not when the nth person finds out their secret so they have to scurry again

When your “product” spills out onto the floor, you better make it a entertaining story or else the interviewer will be telling everyone at the water cooler about his encounter with a drug dealer!

@@DanielCruz-xq6eo I think it was stated that Mike was blacklisted from Harvard and other law schools because he sold the test to the dean's daughter. Which was all really Trevor's fault. If you think about it, Trevor was a really awful friend after everything Mike did for him. That was one thing I wish the show did better. Mike obviously cared about Trevor, so I wish the show gave Trevor a redemption story so they could have made up.

This series would have gone a lot differently if they made Mike a paralegal and the first season or two was about how they change the company to allow for people to become associates through the paralegal process. There won't be any other people with perfect memory but surely there are at least a handful of people that would make great stories of edge cases that the Harvard board deemed not worthy but actually were. They could dedicate one episode for each of these special cases and could have made a cast around Harvey/Mike (instead of the mostly nameless associates that just existed but had little to no screen time).
