520 "In The Good Wife and Philosophy, fifteen philosophers
look at the deeper issues raised by this stirring TV
drama. The Good Wife gives us courtroom battles in the
tradition of Perry Mason, with the added dimension of a
political intrigue and a tormented personal story. We
witness the interplay between common morality and legal
correctness; sometimes following one violates the other.
Lawyers operate within the law and within legal ethics,
yet routinely do harmful things in pursuit of their
clients' interests. The adversarial system leads to such
strategies as stringing out a case to exhaust the other
side's resources and bringing suits ostensibly because of
wrongdoing by defendants but really to curtail the
defendants as a competitive threat to some important
client's interest. The idea for The Good Wife came from
the recurring news drama of wives standing by their
husbands when scandal breaks: the wives of Bill Clinton,
Elliott Spitzer, and John Edwards. Often these
politicians' spouses are themselves lawyers who have had
to cope with the gray areas of legal battles and
maneuvering. Following her husband's disgrace and
imprisonment, Alicia Florrick has to return to the law,
which she abandoned for the sake of being a full-time wife
and mother"--Provided by publisher.
