Directed by: Gregory Hoblit
Starring: Richard Gere, Edward Norton, Laura Linney
Factual error: In the beginning the guy shooting pool gives a CD to Richard Gere, he says that the song they were listening to is the fourth song when in fact it's the first song on the album.
Factual error: Though the movie is set in Chicago, Laura Linney refers to the prosecutor's office she works for as the DA's office. There is no DA's office in Chicago. In Chicago, this office is called the State's Attorney's Office.
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film, as Aaron/Roy reveals his deception to Martin, notice the jail cell 'door' behind Martin. During the majority of the scene the door is closed, but in a couple of shots it is wide open.
Martin Vail: I also need case histories on murder by stabbing, murder by mutilation, murder by religion. Also, I'm gonna need a psychiatrist.
Naomi Chance: You're telling me.
Trivia: The part of Aaron Stampler was originally written for Leo Dicaprio. He turned the role down and it was given to Edward Norton.
Answer: Nothing if he is telling superiors within the law practice he is associated with. Outside it, he would be legally bound by attorney/client privilege. He could be disbarred if he ever shared that information.

I'm sorry. I forgot to add to the question of what would have happened if he had chosen to ignore attorney/client privilege. If he discarded attorney/client privilege, would there have been any legal actions against him and Roy?
