Evil twin defense is an actual real legal defense - they use it to cast doubt that the one being accused actually did the crime. Nope, wasn't me, was this guy with the exact same looks and DNA... LOL Of course, it only works if you're a twin, and even then, good luck... (Yeah, I geek out over legal stuff... But, I'm not qualified to give legal advice and the only legal courses I have taken are undergrad ones. I have a paralegal degree. Which really just gives me enough knowledge to know there's a lot I don't know. LOL. I'm not any kind of expert.)
I like where you're going with Foggy assessing the differences, trying to catch him up... Maybe Mike was outside, listening? With the super-senses Matt doesn't know he has? (After all, he'd just left...)
In the real world, I don't think the internship would've given them enough knowlege. I get the impression there's a reason why more experienced partners oversee the junior associates. After law school, there's still a ton more to learn about whatever you specialize in, I think. I never hear of attorneys, fresh out of law school just hanging their own shingle. But, maybe it happens and I just don't know about it. Maybe it shouldn't matter enough since it's a fic for our entertainment? But, maybe Matt and Foggy are different ages and just happen to now be the same year in school? That, and, say, helping out at his mother's firm, that could just be a part-time summer gig or once in a while on the weekends... Maybe even when he was in high school... There's plenty of little things you could give a teen to do, like filing (not with the court, but sorting all the paper that accumulates, etc.)
