Summary:
Based on the original movie, the television show is a classroom drama about students in a law school (based on Harvard Law School). The two main characters are: Charles W. Kingsfield, a stern but fair contract law professor; and James T. Hart, a student who idolizes him. The Paper Chase was voted the best new drama of 1978. Although the critics raved, it didn't get the "numbers" that CBS wanted and it was cancelled after its first season in 1979. Four years later, Showtime picked it up and made three new seasons of episodes from 1983 to 1986.
