Inter Arma Silent Leges

Two storylines raise thorny questions regarding legal rights, law-enforcement authority and racial profiling.

The first case is apparently inspired by repercussions from the Sept. 11 attacks. An Arab-American's distraught wife (Jessica Steen) seeks help from Rebecca (Lisa Gay Hamilton) in locating her husband, who's been detained for national-security reasons that the Justice Department won't specifically reveal. In the second case, Eugene represents an accused killer, a black man whose defense hinges on cross-racial impairment: a theory that an eyewitness who's white---and unfamiliar with black people---might misidentify a black suspect.
