message: I thought the firm name was Cage & Fish, and not Cage, Fish & Associates until Ally was made a partner, which I think was after season 5 sometime.

message: The trial cases are strange and funny. But how realistic are the court procedures depicted? what is correct, what is not correct?--84.137.33.65 18:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As with just about any David E. Kelley production, and nearly all courtroom dramas in general, it's not very realistic at all. For one thing, most of a trial is not flowery speeches by the lawyers appealing to emotion, for another real trials take much longer and include much more boring details than included in the show. Also, these type of shows seem to have different rules of evidence and examination of witnesses than a real court. Frequently I'll be watching these shows and hear the attorney asking their own witness leading questions or repeating the same questions to a hostile witness without objection from the opposing counsel. And when's the last time you've seen more than 5 minutes of a lawyer or their assistants working on a post-hearing brief? That's one of the most common things they have to do if it's not a jury trial (which most aren't-- in fact, the vast majority of cases are disposed of before they even get to trial). You watch shows like this for drama, comedy, fun, but not to see what trial litigation is "really like". Kelley didn't build his TV career on rigorous realism-- I doubt hardly any TV producers of any sort have.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.114.76.207 (talk) 17:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes, such arrangements were only common in radical universities, has anyone heard of a real law firm where this happened? My art college had a trial with this for one term. It failed everyone. Very 1980s. Ern Malleyscrub (talk) 15:00, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

message: This statement is unsourced: "..received much criticism from TV critics and feminists who found the title character annoying and demeaning to women because of her excessive flightiness, lack of demonstrated legal knowledge, and extreme emotional instability."
It might be true but so what? It's like saying a bad-guy male character in an action film is demeaning to men because he's cruel, violent and not very intellectual. But we don't seem to hear that much, do we? Does the information (if true) belong in the article? EdX20 01:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism 

message: I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 16:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

message: In this wiki you can find plenty of information praising this serie but you can't find ANY information opposing this serie, even worst, with the exception of a minor detail, there are not data about if the serie is currently on air or not.   AFAIK this serie was CANCELED cause lack of audience.  
This wiki is about information or to sell dvd?

message: Currently, we are using a cast photo from season four, which includes Robert Downey, Jr. However, I'm uncertain that it is the best photo of the show's cast. Frankly, we must avoid an image that requires license for any use, like ones at Getty Images. Now that amount of cast photo must be no more than ONE, shall we keep the season 4 cast, or replace it with another? --George Ho (talk) 00:58, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
