The Bad Side of Politics


Episode: 1x06 [Truth Be Told]
Client: Jack Fleming
Case: The client, a candidate for mayor, filed for an injunction to suppress the airing of false political attack ads by his opponent.
CP&S Representation: Alan Shore
Opposing Counsel: Attorney Daniel Gellman
Presiding: Judge Gordon Kolodny
Result: Judge Kolodny ruled that political speech is not subject to prior judicial review and denied the request.
Notes:
  • The client's wife, Samantha, was an old college classmate of Alan's (upon whom he'd had an unfulfilled crush). She was the one who insisted that they approach Alan on this case.
  • Paul Lewiston was mortified that Alan took the case, saying that the incumbent opponent, Mayor Snyder, was good for business.
  • Despite the attack ads continuing to air, Jack Fleming won the election.
