Heroic BSoD: Shark has one in the series opener after a wife beater he got off murdered said wife a few days later. The worst part is that the wife had whispered "You've probably saved my life" into Shark's ear just after the trial... It's what turns him into The Atoner. | |

Off on a Technicality: A member of the staff team influenced the jury and it saved the sympathetic defendant. In a darker case, Wayne Callison got away with killing five women because the key witness' testimony against him had to be disregarded on the grounds that he wasn't able to cross-examine her. The reason he couldn't was the fact she was Driven to Suicide by him. And that was something he got away with on another technicality. | |

Bratty Teenage Daughter: Julie, who gets brattier as the show goes on (getting arrested for a DUI, cheating on a test and nearly being thrown out of school, hanging out with the wrong crowd and dating a boy with a substance abuse problem), although this is Truth in Television-teenagers don't exactly make the smartest choices. What makes her truly bratty is how she seems to lash out at and blame her father for all her problems. | |

Asshole Victim: The best example would be a porn magnate whom Stark had refused to defend earlier. Another example is a rapist who was killed by a victim's father. Stark agrees to a Plea Bargain because he both sympathizes with the killer and expects a jury to do the same if the case is taken to a trial. | |

Rewatch Bonus | |
| Shark / int_97926168 | comment |
Rewatch Bonus: "Wayne's World 2: Revenge of the Shark" becomes a very different episode once we learn the whole case is a Batman Gambit by Stark to get Wayne Callison. Stark's unusual behavior is because he wants his lawyers to unknowingly follow a plan that, if discovered, would get Stark put in prison instead of Callison. Also, Callison's arrogance is more understandable. He beat Stark when he was guilty of five murders; beating Stark when he's actually innocent of this crime should be easy.. | |

False Friend | |
| Shark / int_9b7de69c | comment |
False Friend: On Shark, Jessica's old friend Laura Fields, a medical examiner she's worked with for years, gives her word on who killed a reporter. The problem is, the supposedly sure suspect has an airtight alibi. Another M.E. says there's something wrong with this report as it turns out the reporter had been investigating a man in prison who's long claimed innocence in a murder where Fields was the M.E. It turns out Laura killed the reporter herself before she could expose that Fields had faked the evidence in that earlier case. Jessica is hurt by this but still wants to back Laura as making a mistake...until, at the trial, Laura throws Jessica under the bus by claiming that not only was she fully aware of this when prosecuting the man but even encouraged Laura to lie about it so Jessica could get the win. Jessica is rocked by how her "friend" is ready to ruin Jessica's career just to save herself. | |

Have You Come to Gloat? | |
| Shark / int_d86210c | comment |
Have You Come to Gloat?: Invoked by name by Wayne Callison to Stark. Stark is actually there to explain to Wayne (and the audience) the Batman Gambit he used in the episode. | |

Old Cop, Young Cop | |
| Shark / int_da06866e | comment |
Old Cop, Young Cop: In one of Sebastian Stark's cases as a prosecutor, the defendant was a cop charged with killing a criminal's cousin. The cop had a problem with the criminal and accidentally killed the cousin. The cop was the old cop of the trope and the young one was testifying against him. The ex-cop working as a liaison between Stark's office and the LAPD commented on how odd it was that the young cop was testifying against the old one since cops usually take the heat for one another. Then it clicked on Stark that the old cop was Taking the Heat for the young one. The young one had heard stories about the criminal and decided to take justice into his own hands. Stark made a deal where he'd allow the old cop to take the heat if the young one agreed to leave the force forever. | |

Everyone Can See It | |
| Shark / int_dbd2c15e | comment |
Everyone Can See It: When they start sleeping together, Casey and Madeline try to keep it quiet, worried they'll get fired if Stark finds out. During an argument, Stark makes a crack about their "pillow talk" and when they stare, he basically scoffs on the two actually thinking every single person in the office hasn't known about them from the start. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| Shark / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: Stark's plan to get Wayne Callison hits a snag when his team finds another viable suspect, a troubled man who was in love with the victim. It hinders things, but not completely. | |

Start of Darkness | |
| Shark / int_e0040f41 | comment |
Start of Darkness: Flashbacks in "Partners in Crime" show this for Stark in 1995. He became the lawyer for an oil man named Normandy, and stood by when Normandy buried his dead lover in an oil field. | |

Spotting the Thread | |
| Shark / int_ec0ce986 | comment |
Spotting the Thread: A common bit as Stark and his team spot a clue that unravels the case. For example, Stark realizes the medical examiner was actually a killer because she was the first person to arrive at the crime scene when Stark (whose house was closest) took 45 minutes to get there. | |

The Coroner | |
| Shark / int_f19b8b46 | comment |
The Coroner: An episode has Jessica's old medical examiner friend pointing them to a suspect with sure evidence. However, when the suspect has an ironclad alibi, another examiner says this entire autopsy was wrong. It turns out the woman has been faking evidence for years on the idea of "they're guilty anyway." At first, Jessica is sympathetic...until her "friend" claims Jessica had been not only in on this but encouraging her to fake the results to win cases. | |
