Alicia waives attorney/client privilege after her client is murdered; Peter punches Mike Kresteva
By Breia Brissey @ EW



Is it just me 또는 does it feel like we've waiting forever for the Shamrock Dinner? For weeks I've been looking 앞으로 to the fancy soiree -- complete with the promise of Peter putting Mike Kresteva in his rightful place, but 더 많이 on that later. But the party wasn't all about the swanky clothes and open bar, and leave it to Eli to point out the true goal of the dinner: getting on the good side of Cardinal James (John Cullum). If history was any...

Alicia and Will take on an inquest at the morgue, Cary's father returns, and Eli schemes against Jordan one last time
By Breia Brissey at ew


I kind of like it when the case of the week takes a turn for the weird, and this week was just that: Will and Alicia set up 샵 in a morgue instead of a traditional court room for an inquest into the death of Roger Ludwig, an Illinois Supreme Court Justice. We heard the car crash in the episode's opener, but didn't see how it all went down. Ludwig's insurance company, led 의해 Wilk Hobson (Frederick Weller), was looking to pay...

Two defendants get accused of the same crime, Eli gets a visitor from the Justice Department, and Kalinda tells Nick he has to go
By Breia Brissey @ EW



Last week's episode of The Good Wife was easily my 가장 좋아하는 of the season. It was definitely a tough act to follow, but I think "Battle of the Proxies" did a pretty good job. And I can say that even though there was a Kalinda/Nick story line!

The case of the week was actually two cases: two men were facing charges for murdering the same woman. How is that possible? The victim, Brandy, had been attending an outdoor...

Dear Amber,

I've been dating a married man for 3 years. We met at a friend's New Year's Eve party and it was 사랑 at first sight. His wife wasn't there because she's agoraphobic and refuses to leave their house. She's been that way for a decade and makes everyone in her life miserable. My boyfriend isn't happy at home, but says that he doesn't want to do anything to hurt his wife because he feels sorry for her. He says that he loves me and is going to leave his wife...

Episode 1: Pilot

Alicia: You're worried about my husband, Mr. Childs. You've obviously never made a woman angry.

Peter: When I get out, it will all go back to normal.
Alicia: Nothing will ever go back to normal.

Alicia: Funny 또는 Die has a skit about you. It's cool, I guess.

Client: Does it ever get easier?
Alicia: No, but 당신 do get better at it.

Alicia: You won't feel like it. But put on nice clothing. Force yourself to. Not for public. For you.

Diane: You have some very prominent baggage. But, hey, if [Hilary Clinton] can do it, so can you.

Dianet: When I was...

Diane and Alicia take on a flip-flopping opposing counsel, and Eli does all he can to stop a story that would hurt Peter's campaign
By Breia Brissey



It seems like The Good Wife showrunners have finally heard your complaints. "Don't Haze Me, Bro" delivered a completely Nick-free 시간 of TV! And for those of us who are a little fed up with the Nick/Kalinda storyline, it was a much-needed break. (Full disclosure: I loved Kalinda and Nick in the season premiere, but quickly became confused with the pairing.) I know we haven't seen the end of the unhappy couple, but...

Alicia gets a career-changing offer, Will and Diane face off against Louis Canning, and Neil Gross returns
By Breia Brissey @ ew


Are 당신 kind of tired of hearing about Lockhart/Gardner's financial woes? Just like I grew weary of the Kalinda/Nick storyline, I'm now getting a little bored with the firm's constant debt struggle. But at least the writers shook things up a little bit 의해 throwing Louis Canning into the mix. I 사랑 to hate Michael J. Fox's character on The Good Wife. That said, I'd be a pretty happy camper if I didn't have to hear another word about the...

Lemond Bishop's case takes center stage with guest stars Wallace Shawn and Audra McDonald
By Breia Brissey at ew



After two episodes in a row of Carrie Preston goodness, I have to admit I was fully prepared to be underwhelmed 의해 "Runnin' with the Devil." But of course I was wrong. Any time Lemond Bishop (Mike Colter) returns, we're usually in for a good show. Under normal circumstances, Lemond Bishop is someone I'd never root for in real life. He deservedly has a lot of bad things coming his way. But stick Lemond Bishop under the protection of Alicia & Co., and...

Lockhart/Garder sues the NSA on behalf of Chumhum; Stockard Channing returns as Alicia's mom
By Breia Brissey @ EW




Another Sunday. Another great episode of The Good Wife. I really 사랑 that instead of jumping right back into the thick of things with the first episode, the writers are really laying the groundwork for the inevitable explosion of drama (see: Florrick, Agos, & Associates). Perhaps the writers learned their lesson last season. Remember how excited we all were for Kalinda's mysterious husband to make his debut? Then Nick showed up in the season 4 premiere,...

Matthew Perry guest stars as the chair of a blue ribbon panel, and the FBI joins the investigation on Kalinda

By Breia Brissey / EW

"Is this going to take long? Only if it irritates you." Oh, Eli Gold. How I 사랑 your comedic relief for The Good Wife. Last night's episode was relatively tame, as it focused mostly on a blue ribbon panel instead of a typical in-court case. But we finally got a little 더 많이 insight on Kalinda's mysterious tax case, and we got to witness Matthew Perry as a man of the law instead one of our 가장 좋아하는 Friends. Could I be any 더 많이 excited?...

Good things come to people who wait. 또는 at least good episodes of The Good Wife come to those of us who suffer through the winter 텔레비전 hiatus. And maybe it's just me, but I think "Boom De Ya Dah" delivered. The case of the week had Lockhart/Gardner representing a young girl, Kaley, who acquired West Nile virus after being around a swimming pool at a foreclosed home. The disease ended Kaley's promising ballet career and demanded...

Dear Amber,

I'm a fifteen year-old boy who has never been kissed. Would it be wrong to pay someone to 키스 me? There's a girl in my class who says she'll 키스 me for $50. She'll even let me take pictures to show my friends. We haven’t discussed the details yet – open mouth 또는 closed mouth, tongue 또는 no tongue, etc. And money isn’t an issue; I receive a very generous allowance. It’s just that my mom told me that my first 키스 should be “special” and I usually...

Alicia takes on a case as a favor to her mother and Peter asks Alicia to renew their vows
By Breia Brissey @ EW


It seems like just yesterday we were eagerly awaiting the arrival of Kalinda's husband during the season 4 premiere of The Good Wife. That story line didn't really pan out, but still, I can't believe we've already reached the penultimate episode. Unfortunately, "A 더 많이 Perfect Union" was about as underwhelming as Mr. Kalinda Sharma. Things moved too slowly, and again, there was no Eli Gold! That said, I think the writers held back a little bit to lay...

Hooray! Now that we've reached the end of the NFL season and major award shows, it seems that The Good Wife will no longer suffer from network preemptions. We get five all-new episodes in a row, beginning with last night's "Going for the Gold." The typical case of the week was replaced with the continuing saga of Eli Gold vs. the Department of Justice. Likewise, that meant the return of everyone's...

The end is nigh! There are only two 더 많이 new episodes left of season 4, so let's dive right in and talk about "Rape: A Modern Perspective."

Thirteen-year-old middle schooler Shawna Redman of Safford, Arizona, was a pretty normal kid. She was great at volleyball, got straight A’s, and her biggest offense up to that point was being tardy a grand total of one time.

Who could’ve imagined that she was a drug dealer?

That day, the school’s vice-principal called Shawna into his office. Weird, that never happened to Shawna before. He had searched Shawna’s locker and now wanted her purse. Shawna wasn’t told what he was looking for and she was too scared to ask. After dumping her purse’s contents, rifling...

The writers have been painstakingly laying the groundwork for the explosive response to Alicia leaving Lockhart/Gardner. Honestly, I was ready for it to all hit this Sunday. And was disappointed when last week's previews indicated that we'd have to wait two 더 많이 weeks for it to all come to a head. But it's like the Good Wife writers know exactly how to silence my complaints:...

Ethos (Greek) = character; Mores (Latin) = customs

vs.

Moralitas = manner, character, proper behavior

Professor Gentsch wrote this on the board at the start of his "Ethics, Economics and Law" Seminar during 1L at Harvard Law. What do those terms mean?

Ethics vs. Morality

But aren't they synonymous? Interchangeable? Break down the roots of each word. "Character" is in both. "Customs" and "manner" have similar meanings. But "proper behavior" is where the two diverge. What constitutes "proper behavior?"

Consider these two scenarios:

Number One

Was it really necessary to air an all-new episode of The Good Wife during a post-holiday weekend? I grumbled about this very fact as I spent five hours on a bus returning to NYC from my own Thanksgiving celebration. And so what did Robert and Michelle King do? They delivered one of the best episodes of the season just to shut me up. 당신 win, The Good Wife. Staying up late to catch "A Defense of Marriage" was totally worth it.
