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:
“Hard times accounted in large part for the fact that the exposition was a financial disappointment in its first year, but Sally Rand and her fan dancers accomplished what applied science had failed to do, and the exposition closed in 1934 with a net profit, which was donated to participating cultural institutions, excluding Sally Rand.”
