Style over substance...

Connie is very impressed by Professor Morrison--as are all of his students. In addition, he's a bit of a media icon--a lawyer who defends the rich and famous as well as appearing on TV. However, although he is very glib and seemingly filled with limitless energy, Hart is NOT a fan--perhaps because Kingsfield isn't really a fan either. When Morrison hands in an overdue article to Law Review, Hart is concerned as the style of the paper doesn't seem at all like the Professor's--and perhaps he plagiarized it. And, like a pit bull locked onto the leg of a robber, so Hart refuses to give up until he can determine if this professor is a fraud.

While not a great episode of "The Paper Chase", it is a very good one. It poses some interesting questions and was novel. Well worth your time, though the ending was VERY heavily padded (and a bit embarrassing). And, if you do see it, look for Charles Fleischer in a small role as the student with the "Playboy" centerfold. He was the voice of Roger Rabbit.
