==Popularity==
+
== Work ==
−
Blue-Haired Lawyer is the quite possibly the most frequently hired attorney in Springfield.  He has been hired for nearly every case featured.
+
He is one of [[Mr. Burns]]' lawyers. Many times, he has shown up when [[Simpson family|the Simpsons]] are in court (usually on the opponent's side) and quite often makes good points and wins over the judge.
  
−
==Other Jobs==
+
His most prominent client is Mr. Burns, but he has worked for [[Fat Tony]],<ref>"[[Bart the Murderer]]"</ref><ref>"[[22 for 30]]"</ref> [[Snake Jailbird]],<ref>"[[Penny-Wiseguys]]"</ref> [[Gil Gunderson]],<ref>"[[Dogtown]]"</ref> [[Timothy Lovejoy]],<ref>"[[Lisa the Skeptic]]"</ref><ref>"[[Pray Anything]]"</ref> [[Waylon Smithers]],<ref>"[[Moho House]]"</ref> [[Goose Gladwell]],<ref>"[[Fat Man and Little Boy]]"</ref> [[Disneyland]],<ref>"[[Lisa the Beauty Queen]]"</ref> the [[Sea Captain]] and [[the Frying Dutchman]],<ref>"[[New Kid on the Block]]"</ref> [[Sideshow Bob]],<ref>"[[Cape Feare]]"</ref> [[Krusty the Clown]]<ref>"[[Ice Cream of Margie (with the Light Blue Hair)]]"</ref> and [[Roger Meyers, Jr.]] and the [[Itchy & Scratchy Studios]],<ref>"[[The Day the Violence Died]]"</ref><ref>"[[The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show]]"</ref><ref>"[[Fatzcarraldo]]"</ref> the Duff Corporation,<ref>"[[Old Yeller Belly]]"</ref><ref>"[[The Frying Game]]"</ref> [[Movementarians]],<ref>"[[The Joy of Sect]]"</ref> [[Bart Simpson]],<ref>"[[Barting Over]]"</ref> [[Marge Simpson]],<ref>"[[Orange Is the New Yellow]]"</ref> [[ZiffCorp]],<ref>"[[The Ziff Who Came to Dinner]]"</ref> [[Jay G]],<ref>"[[The Great Phatsby: Part Two]]"</ref> and the estates of [[Charlie Chaplin]] and {{W|Jimmy Durante}}.<ref>"[[Lady Bouvier's Lover]]"</ref>
−
He also occasionally appears to serve as a prosecutor. In one episode, he worked for Luvum & Burnham.  He also works as the Creator's goon(s) in The Simpsons Video Game.
 
  
−
==Similarities to other lawyers in Springfield==
+
Due to his broad range of clients, many of whom have clashing interests, it is likely that he does not hold any loyalties to any particular client. He possibly takes up work in contrast to his own values as he's depicted next to [[Mayor Quimby]] in an episode, implying he's his attorney despite being part of the Springfield Republican Party.<ref>"[[The Miseducation of Lisa Simpson]]"</ref>
−
Like most attorneys on The Simpsons, Blue-Haired Lawyer serves as both prosecution and defense attorney.  A humorous, but subtly inserted, gag referencing this and his success is featured in the episode [[Cape Feare]], where he serves as both a trial and defense lawyer- in the same case.  
 
  
−
==Differences from other lawyers in Springfield==
+
While he's mainly seen as a defender in the show, there are occasions where he appears as a prosecutor or district attorney.<ref>"[[The Great Money Caper]]"</ref><ref>"[[Rednecks and Broomsticks]]"</ref><ref>"[[The D'oh-cial Network]]"</ref> In one instance he is depicted as a part-time field agent for the Springfield Department of Commerce<ref>"[[Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words]]"</ref>, showing he does partake in other jobs aside from his career as a lawyer. The one other occasion in the show of him having a different job is when he’s one of Burns' many financial advisors<ref>"[[The Old Man and the Lisa]]"</ref> but this does not come up again.
−
Unlike [[Lionel Hutz]] or [[Gil Gunderson|Gil]], “Blue-Hair” is a competent and accredited, though not necessarily ethical, lawyer. He has served as [[Montgomery Burns|Burns’]] head lawyer, and is known to be Mr. Burns’ best and most cunning lawyer, helping him out with threats of the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|Power Plant]] closing down and of Burns losing his money.  
 
  
−
==Governmental Powers==
+
== Love Life ==
−
He is a member of the Springfield Republican Party.  
+
Blue-haired lawyer's love life is virtually non-existent, though he was once seen on a date with fellow Republican [[Lindsey Naegle]] <ref>"[[A Midsummer's Nice Dreams]]"</ref> as well as a date with [[Cookie Kwan]] (deleted scene).<ref>"[[Mommie Beerest]]"</ref>
  
−
==Rivalry with The Simpsons==
+
== Politics ==
−
His clients tend to be antagonists of the Simpsons but there have been exceptions, such as Bart hiring him to get himself emancipated. He apparently gets frustrated with [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] occasionally.He also appeared as a villain in [[The Simpsons Game]].
+
He is a member of the [[Springfield Republican Party]].<ref>"[[Sideshow Bob Roberts]]"</ref>
  
−
==Creation==
+
== Non-canon ==
−
Writers [[Al Jean]] and [[Mike Reiss]] have both stated on the DVD commentaries that the voice is based on McCarthy-era lawyer Roy Cohn, and animator [[Jim Reardon]] has said that he is designed to look like character actor Charles Lane.
+
{{Noncanon}}

In the ''[[The Simpsons Game]]'', he works as {{Ch|Matt Groening|The Creator's}} goon.

The blue-haired lawyer is Springfield's most prominent lawyer known for his pasty face, blue hair, and nasal New York accent.

Work[edit]

He is one of Mr. Burns' lawyers. Many times, he has shown up when the Simpsons are in court (usually on the opponent's side) and quite often makes good points and wins over the judge.

His most prominent client is Mr. Burns, but he has worked for Fat Tony,[1][2] Snake Jailbird,[3] Gil Gunderson,[4] Timothy Lovejoy,[5][6] Waylon Smithers,[7] Goose Gladwell,[8] Disneyland,[9] the Sea Captain and the Frying Dutchman,[10] Sideshow Bob,[11] Krusty the Clown[12] and Roger Meyers, Jr. and the Itchy & Scratchy Studios,[13][14][15] the Duff Corporation,[16][17] Movementarians,[18] Bart Simpson,[19] Marge Simpson,[20] ZiffCorp,[21] Jay G,[22] and the estates of Charlie Chaplin and Jimmy Durante.[23]

Due to his broad range of clients, many of whom have clashing interests, it is likely that he does not hold any loyalties to any particular client. He possibly takes up work in contrast to his own values as he's depicted next to Mayor Quimby in an episode, implying he's his attorney despite being part of the Springfield Republican Party.[24]

While he's mainly seen as a defender in the show, there are occasions where he appears as a prosecutor or district attorney.[25][26][27] In one instance he is depicted as a part-time field agent for the Springfield Department of Commerce[28], showing he does partake in other jobs aside from his career as a lawyer. The one other occasion in the show of him having a different job is when he’s one of Burns' many financial advisors[29] but this does not come up again.

Love Life[edit]

Blue-haired lawyer's love life is virtually non-existent, though he was once seen on a date with fellow Republican Lindsey Naegle [30] as well as a date with Cookie Kwan (deleted scene).[31]

Politics[edit]

He is a member of the Springfield Republican Party.[32]
