Wolfram and Hart Reference in NCIS

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Has anyone else noticed that the current season of the TV show NCIS includes a lawyer named Alison Hart from a strangely familiar law firm, "Wolfram, Hart, and Donowitz"?

How the hell are they getting away with this? I would have thought that by now the injunctions would already be flying thick and fast. Or is this some sort of advertising stunt by our favourite alleged evil lawyers?

I had noticed, and was waiting for the injunction myself.

But I really do think that your second idea was the more accurate of the two. I know that Entertainment Lawyers and Corporate Lawyers are two different Genus of the same species... but they must get along on the occasional idea or we'd never have such shows as "LA Law" or "Ally McBeal"... and I'm sure there were and are more Lawyer shows out there, but those are the two that jump to my mind that had Corporate Lawyers in them, rather than say District Attorneys or Public Defenders.

Good point.

Does he win his cases?

If he loses, then maybe they'll sue for defamation. But as long as he wins, they may see nothing wrong with being associated with a winner.
