they're the epitome of liberal end of history institutional fetishism and playing-by-the rules leads to justice because the western justice system is great!

Granted they tend to focus more on cops, but the Law & Order series are especially terrible about always portraying the prosecutor as this embodiment of justice and the defense attorney as this shady creep/ bitch who is also sometimes kinda coded as a pedo.
Yeah the shady defence lawyer is always put on tv (ironically for the very reason that defence attorneys are so needed, people always assume the accused did it) with no mention of the shady prosecutor who locks up the innocent for the sake of their career.
See how they'd feel about defence lawyers if their teenage child was locked in a room for 12 hours straight with 2 cops lying their asses off
