S01E11 The Sorcerer's Apprentice

In this episode, Elizabeth Logan finds herself at the center of attention when Supreme Court Justice Reynolds visits the law school to honor the anniversary of women's admissions. During a Q&A session in Professor Kingsfield's class, Logan boldly challenges the judge on why he has never employed a female law clerk. Despite Kingsfield's attempts to silence her, Logan remains undeterred, yet the judge offers no response. Her confrontational stance quickly gains traction across campus and among national women's rights groups, who descend on the event with protestors, turning the judge's celebration into a chaotic spectacle that leaves Logan frustrated.
