Factual error: While assisting Detectives Lupo and Bernard, the librarian in the New York library map room handles maps dating from the eighteenth and nineteenth century in a bizarrely cavalier manner. He does not wear soft cotton gloves, and flips the pages of the map books over as if they were modern books. Such maps would be extremely fragile and would never be handled roughly the way he does, and they would not be stored in plastic folders anyway. They would be stored flat in individual glass cases, and they would never, ever be touched with bare hands.

Det. Lennie Briscoe: Boy, I'd hate for somebody to trace me by what I read.
Det. Rey Curtis: You read, Lennie?
Trivia: Before his transfer to the NYPD, Joe Fontana (played by Dennis Farina) worked as a detective in Chicago. Before becoming an actor, Farina served in the Chicago police department, both as a police officer and a detective. Farina also played a Chicago police officer on the short-lived 1980s TV series Crime Story.
Question: In one of the court scenes it states the date as the 26th of December. Upon a bit of searching it doesn't seem to fall as a holiday in the New York Supreme Court holidays calendar. While the day is generally observed as a holiday in many countries I am not sure about whether it is observed in any states of the United States?
