    I believe that there was antisemitism on LA Law. Look at the characters. Kuzak: A white good looking WASP lawyer. Becker: The same. Sifuentes: A good looking Hispanic lawyer. Rollins: A good looking African American lawyer. All these characters have good storylines. And then there is Stuart Markowitz. How did the writers deal with him. Since he's Jewish they used every sterotype. He's shorter not as good looking and is a tax accountant and lawyer. He had money so of course when he marries Kelsey he asks her to sign a pre marital agreement to protect his money. They give him a low sperm count. The other lawyers only tolerate him that when the other lawyers left the firm they didn't take Kelsey because she would want to bring Stuart.

    I believe the character Arnold Becker was Jewish as well as Stewart.
