Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJim has a new lawyer in this episode: Wade G. Ward, played by Sorrell Booke. It is mentioned several times that Ward works at the same law firm (Harcourt & Lowe) as Jim's previous lawyer Beth Davenport, and that Beth is not with the firm anymore. Though it was established in a previous episode that Beth was leaving Harcourt & Lowe to establish her own firm, it is never made clear in the context of the series why Jim - a long-time personal friend of Beth's - did not follow Beth to her new firm. In real life, the reason for the switch was that Gretchen Corbett (who played Beth Davenport) had left the series.. She did return for the reunion movies of the 1990's stepping back into the role of Beth.
- GoofsThe case of Utah V. Leggett is cited by Jim's lawyer Ward. The judge then states that the case referred to an attack by Comanches against Leggett. But the Comanche Nation was never located in Utah. The Comanche Nation coincided western Texas, eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma, southwestern Kansas, and southeastern Colorado. So an attack by Comanches against a Utah resident resulting in said Utah resident being brought to court by the State Of Utah could never have occurred.
