Steven Bochco told composer Mike Post that he wanted to start the opening sequence with a car trunk slamming shut. Post, who had worked with Bochco on Hill Street Blues (and also created the iconic theme music for Law & Order) wrote the L.A. Lawtheme based on that directive.
Corbin Bernsen's first audition with Bochco in New York didn't go very well. He auditioned for the role of Michael Kuzak (which eventually went to Harry Hamlin) and was suffering from the flu. Bochco thought it was a "little disappointing" because he thought Bernsen was good-looking. The actor went to Los Angeles and caught a woman with blonde hair...

Bochco initially told Eikenberry about the idea late one night over the phone while she was visiting her mother in Wisconsin, but it was Fisher who wrote that part of the episode, w...
While working as a lawyer in Boston, David E. Kelley wrote the movie From the Hip (1987) in his free time, which landed him an agent and caught the attention of Bochco, who hired him as a writer for L.A. Law after reading just the first 30 pages of that script. Kelley asked for a five-month leave of absence from his law firm, but L.A. Law quickly t...
Douglas Brackman, Jr. was played by Alan Rachins, who is married to Joanna Frank, Bochco's sister (who played Brackman, Jr.'s wife, then ex-wife, Sheila on the series). In 1990, The New York Times listed some of the things poor Douglas went through on L.A. Law: It was enough that the third season was devoted to bringing Douglas "back to normalcy," ...
In 1990, a lawyer in Miami Beach argued to an (unconvinced) judge that the jury had acquitted the doctors in his client's malpractice suit because a very similar case was a storyline in the previous night's episode of L.A. Law, where the doctor defendant had also been found free of guilt (the judge had not seen the episode). In that same New York T...
