    • Trivia
      In trying to get court documents from the DA Bo Parsons, Sam calls Sheriff Dixon "Sheriff Lobo", referring to the corrupt Sheriff from BJ and the Bear (which first aired in 1979).
    • Goofs
      After Sam leaps, in the teaser for the next episode, he is immediately wearing a mustache. But in the next cut, he is no longer in a mustache. It is explained in the extended opening in the next episode - the mustache gets ripped off and needs to be replaced by the make up artist.
    • Quotes

      Judge Haller: What is wrong with the jury?

      Dr. Sam Beckett: None of them are black.

      Judge Haller: You mean Negro?

      Dr. Sam Beckett: Uh, yes, sir. And since my client is a Negro, it only seems fair that there be Negroes on the jury.

      Bo Parsons: I object! There's never been a Negro impaneled on a jury in Louisiana.

      Judge Haller: Overruled. Leonard, there's only one problem. In order to serve on a jury, you have to be a registered voter, and, uh, since there aren't any Negroes registered in this parish, I just don't see how you're gonna to put one on that jury.

      Dr. Sam Beckett: Well, that being the case, Your Honor, since the law requires a trial by a jury of one's peers, we have no choice but to reluctantly accept these white jurors as Lila's equals.
