When the judge instructs the clerk to call the next case, the clerk announces the "State of New York vs Christian Clemenson". Christian Clemenson is in fact the actor playing the clerk.
Debra Winger actually left the powerful Hollywood agents CAA agency (Creative Artists Agency) over this film. Winger allegedly felt that since all the major cast and crew members were with CAA at the time, they did not hire the best people, they hired only clients who could get the film made.
Jane Fonda and Cher lobbied for the role of Laura Kelly and were rejected as too old.
In the end credits, one can see that one of the works of art used in the film is from the collection of Cary Grant. As Grant would pass away the same year of the film's release, 1986, this would be one of his last screen credits.
The script for this movie started out as a documentary on the battle over the estate of artist Mark Rothko.
"Tom Logan: Ladies and gentlemen, Chelsea Deardon didn't kill Victor Taft. The prosecution has suggested a possible motive, but one based on hearsay, conjecture and circumstantial evidence. Evidence that appears to have some substance, but upon closer examination, will prove to have no relevance whatsoever to this case. [stops and looks at the jury] Tom Logan: You're not buying this, are you? You're not listening to a word I'm saying. Yeah? Guess what? I don't blame you. After listening to Mr. Blanchard lay out the prosecution's evidence, even I'M convinced my client murdered Victor Taft. [murmurs of surprise in the courtroom] Tom Logan: After all, if I had found Victor Taft, dead on the floor, and Chelsea Deardon's fingerprints on the weapon, there isn't much that would convince ME she isn't guilty. Look, let's save ourselves a lot of time. Let's be honest. There are better things we could be doing. Who thinks Chelsea Deardon's guilty?"
"Laura J. Kelly: Don't lose him. Tom Logan: I'm not going to lose him. Where is he?"
