The Paper Chase

S01E16 A Matter of Anger

1979-02-13

A black woman grapples with feelings of inadequacy after being admitted to law school through the Affirmative Action initiative. At Kingsfield's urging, Hart is assigned to tutor her, despite his reservations. Meanwhile, a powerful white alumnus is determined to challenge the government's policy on Affirmative Action, fueled by his son's rejection from the program, despite having superior grades compared to the woman. This clash of perspectives ignites tensions and raises questions about merit and opportunity.
