Surprisingly emjoyable!

For some reason i found that this was one of the better episodes since the pilot, as it kinda went back to some of the plotlines that were set up, in the pilot!

This episode touches on one of the core elements as Mike questions his safety and future, when he realizes that the truth about his past and degree, might not stay hidden forever!

Another core aspect, is how the lawyers operate, and the constant struggle of keeping your emotions out of the case! Its great to see that dynamic cause we as audience have a hard time not feeling sorry for the people!

As usual we got a nice blend of hillarity and satisfaction!

Trivia
Andrea Parker previously starred in The Pretender, a show about a super-intelligent man with a photographic memory who pretended his way into jobs without any of the requisite degrees.

Goofs
In the episode prior to this one, "Undefeated," it's established that only employees who are valuable assets to the firm have employee codes. This is reiterated a couple of times to Mike by Benjamin and Donna, especially that he can't have one because he's only a first year associate. In this episode, however, Stan Jacobson addresses Mike with a string of numbers, saying that it's his employee code that he has memorized.
