Michael Mulheren: Judge Harrison Taylor

Quotes 

• Jack McCoy : I want him off the case, Your Honor! He endangered witnesses, he interfered with the prosecution...

  Nick Margolis : If Mr. McCoy had evidence to go with his huffing and puffing, I'd be in handcuffs right now.

  A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael : We can meet the standard of proof required to remove a corrupt attorney. It's all there in the moving papers.

  Judge Harrison Taylor : Yes. Fascinating reading.

  Nick Margolis : Your Honor...

  Judge Harrison Taylor : You're out, Mr. Margolis. There's only one inference to be drawn from the fact that the VDF got into the wrong hands.

  Nick Margolis : Well, that's unwarranted. I'm filing an appeal.

  Judge Harrison Taylor : Yes, and in the meantime, you're still out.

  Nick Margolis : All right. I want two days to get new counsel for my clients.

  Jack McCoy : And replace Bonnie with Clyde? His entire firm should be barred.

  Nick Margolis : My clients have the right to choose their counsel.

  Jack McCoy : They have the right *to* counsel. Period. Anything beyond that is a privilege.
