* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: William O'Boyle, a defense attorney, delivers one to Stone as the two of them commiserate in a bar after their trial ends.
-->'''Stone:''' The law should be pure...like physics. It should be better than media and politics. It should exist outside of race.\\
'''O'Boyle:''' Well, if it's any consolation, when it comes to Muslims, we're all a tad racist. Hell, we bend over backwards trying to avoid confronting it.\\
'''Stone:''' That's a pretty broad brushstroke.\\
'''O'Boyle:''' It's our nature! Everybody wants to be tolerant. A white guy goes into a church in Charleston and blows away a black Bible study class. What do we do about it? We ban the Confederate flag. A Muslim murders 49 kids in a nightclub and ''we'' admonish each other not to blame the entire religion! We are naturally racist. ''But'', at the same time, we feel guilty about it.

''Chicago Justice'' was an Creator/{{NBC}} LawProcedural and the fourth installment of Creator/DickWolf's ''[=#OneChicago=]'' franchise, having spun-off from ''Series/ChicagoPD'', itself a spin-off of ''Series/ChicagoFire''.

* DefeatMeansRespect: [[Series/ChicagoPD Hank Voight]] respects ASA Peter Stone for being to the one to take him down and they're rather friendly to one another with no grudges on either side. In fact, Voight appears amused by Stone claiming that putting Voight away had been an easy case.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: "Comma" has a character clearly based on Amanda Knox, who here has been acquitted of murdering a fellow student in Spain, not Italy, and returned home afterward. When another student is murdered during a game at her university she and some other students were playing, everyone initially assumes she's responsible. It turns out that she's entirely innocent, however. Spain wants her extradited for another trial (allowable under Spanish laws when they have some new evidence), much like Knox and her boyfriend faces multiple appeals and retrials before at last being set free for good.

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: ''Justice'''s first proper episode was a three hour event that played across a single night and featured the casts of ''Fire'', ''P.D.'', ''Med'', and ''Justice'' all being affected by a warehouse fire that kills dozens of people. it even featured Danielle Melnick, a recurring character from ''Series/LawAndOrder'', presiding over the trial. That's ''five'' different shows being represented over the course of a single story.

* CallBack: Stone uses a technicality to get around double jeopardy in "Dead Meat". Jack [=McCoy=] did a similar thing in the ''LawAndOrder'' episode "Jeopardy" twenty-two years before. [[spoiler: The defendant even ends the trial by pleading guilty.]]

* HollywoodLaw: The pilot, "Fake", has the prosecution's victory hinge on a particularly {{egregious}} example. Prosecutor Stone claims the defendant's outburst in court is "testimony" so he can call him as a witness for his "cross-examination". Naturally the defense lawyer objects, but the judge rejects his entirely valid argument and allows it, though also noting she'd "probably be overturned on appeal". Make that ''definitely''. No way would this fly-the defendant wasn't sworn and on the stand, so it isn't testimony, thus they can't "cross-examine" him about this. The entire case is won due to all the information that he reveals during questioning, so the conviction would be vacated and they would have to try him again (doubtless at great cost). It's also unnecessary, since they discover evidence which incriminated him that ''could'' be used. Olinsky would also not have been allowed to investigate the case since his daughter was a victim. The judge also lets the defense attorney get into why the defendant's confession was suppressed, which wouldn't happen.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: A convicted serial killer tries to get his conviction for murder overturned near the end of "Double Helix" on the basis that someone else confessed under oath to the same crime. However, he was given immunity for other murders based on being completely honest, revealing where the victims' bodies were so their families could get closure. Therefore his admitting he lied violates the plea agreement, and with his confession to those murders there's more than enough evidence for a conviction. He's remanded to prison and will be extradited into Indiana, where four of the murders occurred. They also have the death sentence.

'''''Chicago Justice''''' is an Creator/{{NBC}} LawProcedural and the fourth installment of Creator/DickWolf's ''Chicago'' franchise, having spun-off from ''Series/ChicagoPD'', itself a spin-off of ''Series/ChicagoFire''.

* BountyHunter: The Spanish government sends one to arrest a young woman based on Amanda Know and return her so she can be tried again on murder charges. Realistically, this is quite unlikely, since it would damage relations with the US. The US and Spain have an extradition treaty already (which they are shown invoking later) so going outside official channels like this makes no sense given that too.

* ClearTheirName: [[spoiler: Atwater]] is exonerated after evidence comes to light that someone else in fact killed the man he pled guilty over, and Stone publicly apologizes over it.

* CallBack: Stone uses a technicality to get around double jeopardy in "Dead Meat". Jack McCoy did a similar thing in the ''LawAndOrder'' episode "Jeopardy" twenty-two years before. [[spoiler: The defendant even ends the trial by pleading guilty.]]

* DidDoTheResearch: subverted in-Universe in "See Everything". The defense attorney, knowing that wearing a naqab can increase the risk of getting diabetes, and consequently increase the risk of vision problems, attempts to discredit an eyewitness who regularly wears a naqab while in public. Stone takes a risk and asks her more about her condition. she has had Type I diabetes for at least thirteen years before she started wearing the naqab, and her vision is still good.

* ForegoneConclusion: As LaRoyce Hawkins will still finish Season 4 of 'Chicago PD', it is a guarantee he will not be convicted in "Uncertainty Principle". The only question is how. [[spoiler: It turns out that the victim's cellmate had killed him over cigarettes]].
