Jane represents a woman being sued. Therefor, she is the defendent in the case. Throughout the entire series the defendent has always sat on the left side of the judge, the plaintiff on the right (from the judge's perspective), yet in this episode the client and Jane sit on the right.
At the time this episode was filmed, Terry Fator (the ventriloquist) was married to Taylor Dew (cute girl from Hawaii); they divorced the following year.
