John Dunning Quote

The show had an equally brilliant success on the network, rocketing into the top ten almost immediately. But its sudden national prominence brought it under fire from the legal establishment. The New York County Lawyers’ Association rose up against it, and less than three months after its national premiere, Goodwill Court was squashed. The New York Supreme Court barred judges and lawyers from appearing, Chase and Sanborn dropped it, and the show was dead in the water. But during its tenure, its staff answered 6,000 questions from people who could not afford attorneys.
