** When Fred Thompson guest starred in one episode, his client referred to him as [[Series/LawAndOrder The DA]] as he played one on TV and his character referred to actually passing the bar before going into acting, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Thompson#Career_as_an_attorney which Fred Thompson actually did]].
** The show takes place in Cook County, Chicago, the same county as [[Series/{{ER}} Cook County General Hospital]], the setting of ''Series/{{ER}}'', where Creator/JuliannaMargulies played Nurse Carol Hathaway.
** In "KSR", Dr. Portnow’s wife, a clinical psychiatrist, is an obvious {{Expy}} of [[Series/TheBigBangTheory Leonard Hofstadter’s mother]], played by Creator/ChristineBaranski, who plays Diane.
** One episode when Peter Florrick is running for State's Attorney has a minor kerfuffle blow up over Alicia's brother Simon turning up on not-Website/YouTube saying he thinks Peter doesn't like him for being gay.

* ReferencedBy ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', [[Recap/TheBigBangTheoryS3E23TheLunarExcitation "The Lunar Excitation"]]: Raj uses a telescope to watch someone else's TV. He explains that "''The Good Wife'' is on. I tell you, this is my new ''Series/GreysAnatomy''. When Howard wants to point the telescope back at the Moon, Raj says "Wait a second, the good wife is crying. Something's very wrong." %% I believe this actually narrows it down somewhat, but I haven't identified the specific ''Good Wife'' episode that Raj might have been referring to yet

Fox plays a lawyer with a neurological disorder (tardive diskinesia, rather than Fox's own Parkinson's, but close enough) which he plays up to gain sympathy from jurors he argues in front of. This backfires against a paraplegic judge in one episode: the judge basically says, "Yeah, so what?" and tells him to get on with the case.
