BiographyEdit

She has a pet dog named Justice.

She offers to mentor Alicia Florrick. While Alicia does not fully accept, Diane appears to be someone on whom she can rely. She has worked extremly hard to claw her way to the top and has scars to show it. She tells Alicia that men can be lazy, yet women can't. She and Will Gardner must chose from twenty or so people who want a job at their law firm. The two main people they are considering are Alicia and Cary Agos. Cary got information from Alicia about something and she was extremly helpful, but Cary went to Diane and took full credit for it. Diane and Will praise Cary during a meeting with al of the ligitators because of the impressive amount of hours he had put in last month. Diane accuses Will of favoring Alicia after he made her give a speech that Cary had been working on. She was concered when their fellow senior partner Jonas Stern returned to the firm after puching a cop planning on representing himself, but Diane encouages Alicia to represent him. Diane and Stern find out that Will has been trying to push out Stern, Stern had voted with Diane ninety percent of the time, he told Diane that he only hired her because itlooked good to have a girl. Stern decided he was going to quit Stern, Lockhart and Gardner and start up his own law firm taking their clients and a third of their business. Diane was not happy with him.

Diane was offered a job as a judge by some people who had been watching her (which she found sinister) and were very happy with what she had done for women everyone and because they wanted "two lifeguards for every swimmer". Diane asked for some time to think about it and they gave her a week. she talked to Will about it and he said that she should definitely take it, they survived Stern leaving and they would also survive Diane leaving. Will told her that they had never backstabbed one a another because technically Stern left of his own free will. When Alicia came to Diane for help, she gave her some helpful information and told Alicia that she should come to her more often. Diane also told Alicia that she was doing a good job as a ligitator. Diane ,et with the people who offered her the job, she mentioned Alicia's current case which involved a racist judge. Diane was told that she should talk to Alicia and stop her because this judge was in fact a "lifeguard". Diane didn't stop Alicia and eventually they exposed the judge, Diane was told that because of helping Alicia, it would be unlikely that she got to be a judge, Diane said that she could still run though.

Jonas Stern Edit

He hired Diane as senior partner because he thought that it would look good if there was a female senior partner. However later in that episode, when they face each other Diane say "You hired me because I was the best lawyer in your firm." and Stern nods. He seemed to prefer her to the other partner Will Gardner because he voted with her 90 percent of the time. When he returned after an extended period of absence, Diane was worried that it would give their department bad publicity because he was being accused of DUI and battery. He told Diane that he was leaving Stern, Lockhart & Gardner to start his own law firm and he was going to take their clients and a third of their staff.
