As part of Professor Rolf's prison internship program for first-year law students, Logan is assigned to help in a hearing of a political activist, Eric Ryerson, who was put in solitary confinement for stabbing a fellow prisoner.

Ryerson convinces Logan that the prison establishment is only suppressing him for his political activism and Logan is taken in, intellectually as well as emotionally.

Kingsfield is not in favor of this program because he believes that the students are not ready scholastically and that it takes away valuable time from their studies.

Logan is banished to the back bench in his class for being late as a result of her work in the program.

Hart displays his fluency in Spanish, acting as interpreter for a prisoner, Sanchez - the prisoner who was stabbed. At first Sanchez denies that it was Ryerson who stabbed him (because he and other prisoners are afraid of Ryerson), but it's soon revealed that Ryerson stabbed him because Sanchez would not give Ryerson a pair of sunglasses.

The lesson in Kingsfield's class was on what it means to have a "meeting of the minds." Logan learns that communication is the key. That one can think that one is having a meeting of the minds, but merely be the dupe of someone else.
