William Shatner has a law degree from the Univesity of Iowa. He frequently acts as a legal consultant on his TV show, Boston Legal. He has never tried any cases, but he frequently helps fellow actors with contract questions.

Multiple studies have shown that Iowa is the state that Americans are most likely to forget if they are asked to name as many states as possible.
