Synopsis: Field plays Ohio governor Kate Nolan, who, in the opener, is
quickly confirmed by the Senate. That's no surprise: Nolan's capable,
likable and hard to pin down philosophically. How she'll fit in on the
sharply divided court remains to be seen, however, as she weighs in on her
first case, involving an Ohio woman serving a life sentence. At the same
time, back in the Buckeye State, a TV reporter is digging for dirt on
Kate. |

Director: Charles Haid
Guest Stars: Troy Ruptash (Randy Lastowski), L. Scott Caldwell (Anne
Marie), Tim Bagley (Gregg Willis), Stewart Skelton (William
Roberts)
Synopsis: Nolan looks both good and bad in cases involving securities
fraud and abortion. But her clerks don't exactly cover themselves with
glory. Meanwhile, Harlan and Betsy pursue what could be a major coup in
the abortion-case story; and Nolan's long-time Ohio aide rejoins her in
Washington. |

Stay
Writer: Carol Flint, Kevin Jon Heller
Director: Charles Haid
Guest Stars: Robin Thomas (Andrew Loesch), Gary Grubbs (), Kim
Wimmer (), Tim Bagley (Gregg Willis), Newell Alexander (Judge
Barry), Clay Chappell (Motel Clerk), Brad Henson (Male Prison
Guard), Sonia Jackson (Female Prison Guard), Johnny Lee Schell
(Singer), Joe Stevens (Robert Boyd), Rebecca Wackler (Death
Clerk), Paige Moss (), Jennifer Aspen (Emily), Elisabeth
Harmon (Amy), Rebecca Wackler (Sarah Baldus)
Synopsis: It's the day before a Texas man is to be executed for a rape and
murder, and his petition for a stay arrives at the Court. As usual, Nolan
has the swing vote. Recent DNA evidence throws his guilt into question,
but the Court can't rule on that. It can consider procedural matters,
though, so Kate's clerks scour the trial record (and play devil's advocate
with each other). Meanwhile, Harlan, who's covering the story in Texas
with Betsy, receives an intriguing proposal from an old girlfriend. |

Guest Stars: Tim Bagley (Gregg Willis), Brenda Strong (Marsha
Palmer), Christopher Grove (Peter Rubin), Jenny O'Hara
(Eleanor), Susan Krebs (Mrs. Ridley), Geoffrey Wade (S.G.
Walters), Xander Berkeley (Keith Nolan)
Synopsis: The court rules on a case involving a Federal agent who
accidentally shot a state agent, and Nolan is assigned to write the
majority opinion. That means all-nighters for the clerks. Meanwhile,
Harlan tricks a student librarian into giving him access to the papers of
Nolan's late predecessor, Christina Flynn. It opens a can of worms. And so
might the appearance in Washington of Nolan's black-sheep brother. |

A Wing And A Prayer
Writer: Bonnie Mark
Director: Jesús Salvador Treviño
Guest Stars: Mary Carver (Elizabeth), Xander Berkeley (Keith Nolan),
James Keane (Unknown)
Synopsis: Betsy flirts with Nolan's brother Keith, and takes advantage of
his attraction to her to gain information on Nolan's possible involvement
in a financial scandal years ago. Brandt boldly interviews Nolan's mother
Elizabeth, searching for confirmation of Nolan's guilt. But when Nolan
confronts Brandt and explains the situation, he reluctantly must admit
that she is blameless. Meanwhile, the justices argue whether or not
students should be required to report misconduct by their peers. And an
environmental debate results in a flock of birds being released into the
courtroom by protesters. |

Back In The Bottle
Writer: Janet Tamaro, Carol Flint
Director: Charles Haid
Guest Stars: Brenda Strong (Marsha Palmer), Meera Simhan (Barista),
Bob Gunton (Casey), Steven W. Bailey (Motel Clerk)
Synopsis: Brandt's attempted exposé on Nolan is promoted on television
without his knowledge, causing Nolan to hurriedly prepare a defense
against the false charges of indiscretion. Brandt's producing partner
Marsha Palmer ignores his protests and insists that he broadcast it. But
he surprises everyone by publicly declaring Nolan innocent and retracting
his premature accusation. Brandt's job is terminated, but he is
triumphant—and Nolan is greatly relieved that she did not bring
dishonor to the Supreme Court. |
