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: Even though you are a taxpayer, you know, we don't actually work for you personally.
Trivia: Both Jerry Orbach (Det. Lennie Briscoe) and S. Epatha Merkerson (Lt. Van Buren) played guest roles before joining the cast. Orbach played a lawyer in the episode "The Wages of Love" in season two, and Merkerson played the mother of a victim in "Mushrooms" in the first season.
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?
