The Paper Chase: 1x11

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

This episode features Elizabeth Logan. Supreme Court Justice Reynolds pays a visit to campus to commemorate a milestone anniversary of women being admitted to the law school. During a question and answer session in Kingsfield’s class, Logan confronts the judge as to why he has never hired a female law clerk. Professor Kingsfield attempts to stifle her, yet she persists, but does not get an answer from the judge. News of Logan’s audacity quickly spreads across campus, and to national women’s activist organizations, who send a bunch of demonstrators/hecklers to campus for the judge’s celebratory speech. Much to Logan’s dismay, the outsiders have turned it into an embarrassing circus.
