BY LORRAINE DUFFY MERKL “Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.” I remembered this saying by the much-quoted author Robert Tew, when I watched “Jessica Pearson” (Gina Torres) – or as I call her: the most distinctively dressed executive on television – say good-bye on the mid-season six finale of Suits. The law firm is in dire straits, or as Jessica put it: “The ship’s sunk.” She diverts her attention from the grind of trying to win new business to successfully defend a death-row inmate. This reminds her that helping people is what made her want to become a lawyer in the first place.
