    • Trivia
      Daniel Benzali was allegedly fired from the show for being late by an hour every day of production. When Steven Bochco asked him about it Benzali said he was consistently late because "[he] had to wait until [he] had his morning dump" before coming to set.
    • Quotes

      Neil Avedon: What are the chances the judge will keep Dr. Lester's records sealed?

      Theodore Hoffman: Zero. But I think she's wrong. And if I'm right about him, Lester's records are filled with references to your violent nature.

      Chris Docknovich: Including a back-dated memo describing how you confessed to murdering Jessica.

      Neil Avedon: This is my shrink we're talking about?

      Theodore Hoffman: We're talking about a thoroughly corrupt bastard who's selling you down the river.

    TV for adults: what a concept
    I can see why this show only went two seasons: it's smart, and it doesn't give you a case of ADHD. You actually had to figure out who was who, and follow characters over an entire year. The writing was good, smart and funny; a lot of it took place in a courtroom. Sort of a truer and grittier L.A. Law.

    It, and many other worthwhile shows, had to move out of the way so we could all get to see "American Idol," "The Swan" and "The Apprentice." Yes, our culture is headed downhill, but not in the way conservatives ofter say. An appetite for the fast buck and a contempt for the audience go a very long way.
