The Paper Chase

S01E19 The Clay Footed Idol

1979-03-20

Professor Kingsfield assigns his students to form teams to debate various cases of their choosing. When Hart's group picks a case from Kingsfield's past that he lost, they begin to scrutinize his ethics, especially upon discovering that he seemingly failed to file a standard appeal. As doubts arise, Hart finds himself questioning his mentor's integrity further when a well-known attorney who aided Kingsfield in the case declines to provide clarity on the situation. This prompts a deeper exploration of loyalty and moral ambiguity within the legal profession.
