Professor Charles Kingsfield and the students form the core of the series: Midwestern farm boy James Hart; rich kid and 4th generation lawyer Franklin Ford III, oaf/sad sack Willis Bell; ladies' man Tom Anderson; married (and not very academically-dedicated) student Jonathan Brooks and token female law student Linda O' Connor. This episode centers around the students' (mainly Hart) adjusting to life at law school. The study group is formed by Ford. Hart also has a part-time job at a pizza restaurant, where Marilu Henner works.
