* NoPronunciationGuide: In one episode, Bull introduces a new staff member who hails from Wollongong, Australia. Bull pronounces it "Woll-on-gong", which is considdered a cringeworthy pronunciation to Australians, who pronounce it "'''WOOL'''-en-gong". While an American mangling an Australian word is nothing new to Australians, what makes the scene especially absurd is that the supposedly Australian character is standing right beside Bull as he butchers the pronunciation of her home town, ''and she doesn't even flinch.''

* RogueJuror: Bull talks about how a verdict is often decided by a single juror being enough of a force to sway everyone else to his or her side. For the Brendan Peters case, he targets Bess Johnson, believing that he can make Brendan seem enough like her own son and make her feel sympathetic towards the boy.

[[Series/{{NCIS}} Michael Weatherly]] stars as Dr. Jason Bull, a brilliant psychologist who uses his intimate knowledge of human behavior to better understand what motivates a jury to decide the guilt or innocence of someone on trial.

** Indeed, Hitchcock himself gives it to Bull when he pays his monthly fee even when the case is lost as "money is important...sometimes it can even make you feel better about things you might otherwise regret."

-->'''Marissa''': Because you're rich. And everyone can't have everything...but somehow people like you and people like Mr. Hitchcock always manage to get theirs.

-->'''Marissa''': Because you're rich. And maybe we can't all have what we want...but somehow people like you and your new "friend" always end up getting more than the rest of us.

* ShoutOut: "Name Game" has a pump-and-dump stock scam being doing by a well-established, successful bank. Cable says her knowledge of pump-and-dumps only go to the movie BoilerRoom, and wonders how it will be explained to a jury without VinDiesel and BenAffleck.

* TheBigStore: In "Name Game." Averted slightly, as it is a "boiler room" stock scam, but being done by a well-established, reputable bank. When Bull and Chunk investigate the stock brokers' office where all the brokers were using the same name, it is empty. We get a quick ItWasHereISwear, but Bull plugs a landline phone into the wall and calls Chunk's cell phone, with the bank's name on the caller ID. Also, Bull stole the phone from the notary next door.

* DidntSeeThisComing: When Marissa's boyfriend, Kyle, turns out to be a con artist who scams her out of her money, Marissa is afraid to tell anyone because of how she, a trained investigator and former interrogator, could fall for such a scam she now sees should have been obvious.

* StrawFeminist: Wendy Anderson proclaims herself a women’s rights advocate by taking Susan Bryant’s even though this means blatantly ignoring DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale only to immediately abandon her once its discovered that Susan’s baby wasn’t Jorden’s.
