Turnabout Storm/Awesome

"Rainbow Dash: Awesome! It's only fitting, The best Pegasus ever gets the best lawyer ever! You were destined to defend me!"
 * The fact that when Twilight tries to summon "The Best Defense Attorney" the spell Literal Genies Phoenix is pretty impressive, as it implies that Phoenix is the best Lawyer in the entire multiverse.
 * Nick himself even points out the implications in part 1.
 * Rainbow Dash likes the idea of that.

"Trixie: What do you take me for, a fool!?
 * OBJECTION! Let's not forget; the entire first day of the trial while Phoenix is hindicapped by the fact that he is: 1) Still struggling to cope with the whole world transfer. 2) Near ignorant of the workings of Equestria and having to learn as he goes. 3) Lacking in almost any evidence whatsoever. 4) Dealing with a prosecutor who is obviously more prepared and has more information than he does. And 5) Suffering from a poor night's sleep and no meals for the better part of a a day depending on when he last ate. But he STILL manages to hold his own impressively well for most of it and even manages to catch Trixie off guard enough to panic her for a while. I think the title 'Best Defense Attorney in the Universe' still applies to Mr. Wright.
 * Every time Nick schools Trixie in court in part 2, especially for Trixie haters.

Phoenix: Why, in fact, I do.

Trixie: ...!"


 * Every time Trixie, an untrained prosecutor, manages to get the better of Phoenix, a trained Defense Attorney with an impressive track record.
 * There's also the fact that she tries to keep her cool every time a contradiction is pointed out, always coming up with some excuse or compromise to them.
 * Apple Bloom hiding a key piece of her testimony from Trixie, because "I don't like you".
 * Ironically,
 * "OBJECTION! This can't go on!"
 * Phoenix telling Sonata why he's still defending somepony he has no stake in. "Did I stutter?".
 * Derpy's poem that calls Trixie a "Big, stuck-up... meanie."
