Geniuses aren't usually known for knowingly painting themselves into a corner they can't get out of.
Kills the premise of the show I know but it's a pretty glaring hole.

I suppose the point of the whole scheme would be that both guys think they're above the rules and smart enough to not get caught (even though they constantly do). But that's why it's a TV show. Real law firms are boring. You never get to stand up like James Spader and make some awesome speech that only tangentially relates to your case. You rarely if ever get to say 'in the name of God, do your duty. In the name of God, believe Tom Robinson'. You just don't.
TV law firms are backdrops for hijinks. That's it.
