Cultural References
In one scene, C.J. says that special prosecutor Rollins was the editor of the Yale Law Review. There is no such thing as the Yale Law Review, as the journal of legal scholarship affiliated with the Yale Law School is called the Yale Law Journal. Gene Sperling, however, one of the writers on the show, presumably knew this, as he was a senior editor of the journal, so it is more likely that the name change was in consideration of trademark law.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“By Modernism I mean the positive rejection of the past and the blind belief in the process of change, in novelty for its own sake, in the idea that progress through time equates with cultural progress; in the cult of individuality, originality and self-expression.”
—Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)
