At the University of Utah's S. J. Quinney's College of Law, students can join  many interesting organizations, including the Jackie Chiles Law Society, devoted to "The Jackie Chiles Law Society is dedicated to the examination of how popular culture interacts with the law. The Society meets regularly to discuss how broadcast & print media and the internet affect the American legal system. Recent guest presenters include Patrick Markey, the film producer of A River Runs Through It and The Quick and the Dead, and Sam Lloyd, the actor who plays the attorney “Ted” on the television show Scrubs. The Society also maintains a collection of popular books and movies related to lawyers and the law in the SJQ law library for student use."

The Society is named for the attorney character played by Phil Morris on Seinfeld. Jackie was well-known for his over-the-top statements.
