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:
“Unfortunately there is still a cultural stereotype that it’s all right for girls to be affectionate but that once boys reach six or seven, they no longer need so much hugging and kissing. What this does is dissuade boys from expressing their natural feelings of tenderness and affection. It is important that we act affectionately with our sons as well as our daughters.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
