Time warp, oops


About a half hour in, lawyer Williams is meeting with his young aides and a little facetiously asks Miss Walker, the young black woman, if she'd like to work on Brown vs Board of Education or this case. She answers that Brown is a significant case but she'll stick with this one. This movie is set in 1957, and it would have been a really weird thing to ask her since Brown was decided by the Supreme Court in 1954 and was no longer being worked on. He also mentions her going down to Arkansas, which does make sense since integrating Little Rock schools (a result of the Brown case) was an extremely torrid issue in 1957.
