[edit] Background information and notes
- This is Joanna Merlin's first appearance as Judge Lena Petrovsky. Petrovsky will remain a recurring character throughout the rest of the series. Merlin previously appeared in episodes from Law & Order as Carla Bowman and Deirdre Powell.
- This is also actor Craig Wroe's first credited appearance as Defense Attorney James Woodrow. Wroe previously appeared as an unnamed Attorney in the first season episode "Slaves". He probably played the same character in that episode.
- The title "Legacy" has also been used for the Law & Order season seven episode, and the Law & Order: Criminal Intent season seven episode.
- This episode reveals that Detective John Munch lived on the lower east side as a teenager. This is one of the few episodes in which we get a closer look at Munch's personal life.
