Corrected entry: In Erin's son's bedroom he has a poster for the movie Jurrasic Park, but Jurrasic Park had not even come out from when the movie Erin Brockovich was set.

Correction: Loads of people seem to think that the movie's set in the mid-80's, which just isn't the case. The events of the film took place in the early 90's (check out http://www.lawbuzz.com/famous_trials/erin_brockovich/erin_brockovich.htm), and so a Jurassic Park poster isn't at all out of place.
Jurassic Park, the movie, came out in 1993, which is when all of the merchandise came out. The plot of Erin Brockovich ends in 1992. Some parts of Erin Brockovich probably did take place in the late 80s, depending on how long she spent on her research.
The film starts in 1993. That's when she starts her investigation. She gets fired in July of '93. PG&E settled in 1996.
