I was told that this episode was about a girl who was thrown out of a College Sorority because she was socially awkward. Her layers claim that she has Asperger's and was discriminated against on the basis of her disability.

Jerry is a brilliant lawyer who has Asperger's, and being quite logical and unaffected by the emotional manipulation by the girls lawyers, he successfully defends the College Sororities right to chose its members. Well here is a clip from the episode...

does acting like you have Asperger's mean keeping your hands on your thighs and acting NT otherwise? if so, the lawyer was a great actor.

Someone here at WP posted a link to the IMDb.com board for this show because of insulting remarks about this character. I got in a brief fight with a mother of an Aspie. But Christian Clemenson does a pretty good Aspie performance and has done so in various incarnations (Brisco County Jr, United 93)

Interesting clip diamonddave, I'll have to look out for more Boston Legal on the telly.
