During one of the flashback cross examination scenes, the witness on the stands says they were watching a CSI marathon. The presiding judge, Lisa Benner (Marg Helgenberger) played "Catherine Willows" in the original CSI franchise (2000-2015).
The episode title "How to Succeed in Law Without Really Re-Trying" seems to a variation of the title "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1967)".
