| I missed the ending also. The last thing I saw was Stuart telling A.
Martinez(my mind is totally blank on his name) that he should talk to
Leland before he left the firm. What was the outcome of this?
Thanks,
Donna

| Neither would budge their positions...Leland basically said "See ya
'round" with a kind of "I won" attitude. I wasn't happy with the way
they ended - kind of reminded me of Harry Hamlin's (Mike) departure.

| re: A Martinez' departure from "LA Law"
I wonder if this is permanent, or simply a plot device, where
the new associate will prove to be as bad as Daniel predicted,
and Leland will swallow his pride and beg him to return?
I fully expect the new associate to be bad, bad, bad (with the
potential for pretty good episodes, it's always nice to have
a really good villain).
I really liked that Jane stood up to Leland and Douglas over
using her religious beliefs to manipulate clients (she won't
in the future). I'm warming to her character, I have to admit
my prejudice against a certain type of fundamentalist; Jane does
not appear to be the stereotype.

| Thanks for the info on the ending.
I haven't heard or read about A Martinez leaving the show so I'm
figuring it's a plot device. I hope so.

| I heard the news on the radio this morning: NBC has cancelled L.A. Law.
It will not be returning after this season.

| At one point it was my favorite show. They did a major step forward in being
more realistic with what goes on in real law firms and in court but others
have now passed them both in terms of drama and realism. Also, it has more
than run it's course.
Great show for it's day but it's time has past,

| L.A. Law is over. Last show was last night.
I saw this series from the start. I was watching the 1st scene of the 1st
show when they found Chaney dead and wheeled him out in his chair and I've been
a pretty faithful fan for the entire run. Except for a few shows here and
there the only time I missed several in a row was during their heavy soap
period a season or two back (The Santa Barbra / Gwynn period. Who was stalking
her anyway?).
L.A. Law seems kind of tame by today's standards, but when it started it took
a giant leap forward in realism. For the 1st time Lawyers talked about taking
depositions and pre-trial hearings and people actually had to research cases.
The action in a court room was a bit dramatic but much more realistic than the
Perry Mason type trials of previous series.
Since then Court TV and other programs have pushed realism further but it was
L.A. Law that got the ball rolling by showing that being realistic could pay
the bills.
True they got a little sloppy towards the end racked by changes of personal
in management, writing and in the cast and by the end they were a bit dated
and had run out of steam, but for my money, it was a land mark series and will
always be remembered as such.
Case dismissed, court is adjourned.
