It premiered on USA Network in June 2011. The series revolves around Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), a senior partner at a top law firm in Manhattan, and his recently hired associate attorney Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) as they hide the fact that Mike does not have a law degree.
Mike was able to get him out of prison by working with Harvey's old mentor, Cameron Dennis, to keep Frank Gallo in prison at his parole hearing in exchange.
After years of working as his associate, he was eventually fired by Louis; when Mike tried to get Louis to hire him back, Louis made Mike vouch for him, which Mike was unable to do.
Major/Highlighted Events. It is revealed that James Quelling paid a visit to Allison Holt in order to inquire into the bribery masked as a settlement between Mike Ross and Harold Gunderson during the Hessington Oil trial, prompting Alison to fire Harold and report the bribe to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
He was hired by Harvey Specter, a senior partner at Pearson Hardman, as an associate lawyer, despite Mike not having graduated college or having a law degree. Mike left Pearson Specter after accepting the job offer to work at SIG; however, he returns later in season 4 after Jonathan Sidwell fired him from his firm.

On Wednesday's midseason finale of Suits, Louis finally caught onto the fact that Mike didn't go to Harvard and that his colleagues have been covering for the faux lawyer. It was a reveal that even surprised executive producer Aaron Korsh, who admits below that the twist was not always in the books for this episode.
Adams was done telling Mike's story. The real reason why Mike Ross did not return in season 8 of 'Suits' is that Patrick J. Adams believed that there was nothing more left to be explored for the character. Mike's fraudulent qualifications were found out and he did time in the jail as well.
Mike is arrested for fraud and is offered a deal if he gives up Harvey. Rachel is in a tough spot after her father finds out.
He was arrested for conspiracy to commit fraud in the season 5 summer finale, and was involved in a trial against the U.S Attorney's Office for his illegal practicing of law.
Anita got on the committee because one Walter Sampson just so happened to decide to take a leave of absence and select the person who put Mike away in prison as his replacement. What are the chances?! Pretty slim actually.
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. And without once setting foot in law school!
The Season 6 Finale of “Suits” was an end of an era of sorts, for both Mike (Patrick J. Adams), and maybe Jessica (Gina Torres)?
Buddy TV reports that Mike had to defend for his right to become a lawyer after Anita Gibbs (Leslie), the prosecutor who successfully brought Mike down the first time it was found out that he was a fake lawyer, was a member of the bar panel and was adamant to not allow Mike to pass the bar.
Mike Ross’ guilty plea was upheld, and he indeed headed off for a two-year stint in federal prison.
When the wedding day arrives, it is actually Mike who backs out. Aware that his guilt in defrauding the New York State Bar will potentially hurt Rachel’s chance of becoming a lawyer — the bar would hesitate to license the wife of a man who pretended to be a lawyer — Mike opts to delay any marriage plans until she finishes law school, passes the bar, and realizes her dream. If she still wants to marry him when her dreams are realized and when he has been released from prison, they could eventually have their wedding.
Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet. He has been a leading reporter in the music, movie, television and sporting spaces since 2002.
He begins by obtaining access to the incriminating files on Liberty Rail (season 4 ); to do so, he waives the Pearson Specter Litt non-compete clause so that Evan Smith, the lawyer representing Liberty Rail, would have carte blanche to poach his firm’s staff.
When he realized he could not make a deal behind Mike’s back, Harvey eventually told the truth – that the jury was going to rule not guilty – with the hope of getting Mike to agree to let Harvey take his place in prison. Mike declined, but did confess the news to Rachel.
In the episode, " Enough Is Enough " Louis had every intention to bring Katrina back to the firm, but sadly was unable to do so. Before she resigned she had settled her differences with Mike and Rachel and formed a good working relationship with them. Rachel then asked her dad to hire her, which she later told Louis to remind him that he had forgotten about her.
After Louis resigned from Pearson Specter due to tax evasion, she helped him poach one of the firm's clients that he wished to offer to Robert Zane so that he could gain employment at Rand, Kaldor & Zane, promising to bring her along if she complied. However, Harvey and Jessica Pearson discovered her actions and Jessica fired her on the spot. Knowing that she was just trying to help Louis, Rachel Zane asked her father to hire Katrina as his associate, which he agreed to do so.
Now a senior associate at Pearson Hardman, Louis Litt confronts her and later tells her that she will be under his tutelage to appease for his loss of an associate, much to Katrina's displeasure. She approaches Donna for advice about him and is told to take Louis on.
Katrina walks to the associates' bullpen and asks Susan to come with her to see her new office, claiming that her associate would have to have one. However, Katrina walks into Faye's office and informs Faye that Susan made a mistake in a case but admitted responsibility for her, earning Faye's respect.
sending Mike to prison was actually best for the show. Ever since Suits debuted on USA, viewers have been wondering how long Mike Ross could walk around pretending to be a lawyer without ever receiving punishment for his fraudulent actions. Well, fans now know. The second half of Season 5 has focused on Mike’s investigation ...
When Suits returns for its sixth season, it will be like an entirely new show. There is no more Mike trying to protect his secret. There is no more Mike and Harvey being badass lawyers. There is no more Pearson Specter Litt, since everyone left the firm at the end. Now what? It’s like Suits is starting all over and was just given a reboot, which is never a bad thing.
It is even more unpredictable. The one thing I love about Suits is that you never truly know what’s going to happen, like Mike going to prison. Since the series actually sent him to prison, it has become even more unpredictable.
An opportunity for a time jump. Suits executive producer Aaron Korsh told TV Line when the series returns for Season 6, it will pick up right where it left off. “As a matter of fact, we actually pick up that very night, and the entire episode, as it currently stands, takes place that night,” he said.
In keeping with the above point, Suits is one show that isn’t afraid to take risks. I can only imagine how it will push the boundaries come Season 6. Bring. It. On.
Season 5 of Suits wrapped with Mike arrested for conspiracy to commit fraud – which is totally in-line with how someone who’d illegally practised law for several years would be charged. The following season, he goes to prison: again, nothing out of the ordinary here. However, by the end of season 6, Mike has not only found work at a legal clinic after serving a reduced sentence, but Harvey brings him back to the firm in season 7!
Part of the appeal of Suits – and yet another reason why it’s inspired a generation of younger viewers to pursue a career in law – is that it depicts the law as moving at breakneck speed. This makes for an entertaining show filled with nail-biting moments, as we watch with bated breath, hoping that Harvey and Mike will be able to outsmart and outmanoeuvre their opponents in time.
Harvey Specter is a maverick who possesses a level of self-confidence that regularly spills over into outright arrogance. It’s totally in-character for him to view himself as above petty concerns like the Pearson Hardman by-law that stipulates that associates must be Harvard Law School graduates. Even so, hiring Mike Ross – who didn’t attend any law school, let alone HSL – was an insanely big gamble.
Despite being a series with several intelligent, successful, empowered female characters – like Jessica Pearson, Rachel Zane, and Donna Paulson – Suits flunks the Bechdel test regularly. Later seasons do address this somewhat, but the majority of female-led storylines over the course of the show’s run have revolved around male characters at the expensive of more meaningful narrative developments for the women.
Suits ’ Donna Paulson is a legal secretary whose abilities border on the supernatural – as her boss Harvey Specter once noted “ Donna never makes mistakes. ” Except, of course, when she destroyed evidence that supported a fraud accusation against Harvey in season 2. The emotional motivations underlying this reckless behavior make perfect sense: Donna was acting out of loyalty to Harvey.
For this entry, we’re zeroing in one specific example of Suits being out of sync with the legal system it supposedly emulates: the fight to save Leonard Bailey’s life. If you recall, Rachel Zane (and later, Jessica Pearson) spends part of season 6 trying to have Leonard acquitted, in order to cancel his lethal injection.
Admittedly, virtually every movie and TV show set within the legal industry perpetuates the myth that lawyers lead rock star lifestyles, but Suits takes things to another level. Sure, there are perks to working for a big firm – healthy paychecks and dining out at exclusive restaurants with clients come to mind – but there are plenty of drawbacks, too.
