In one of O'Brien's torture scenes in the chair after
being stripped naked, you can see that he is wearing shorts. |

The gavel in this episode is virtually identical to the
one used by the Klingon judge in
Star Trek VI: The
Undiscovered Country. It is also identical to the one used by the
Bajoran mediator in the first season episode "Dax." |

The original title of this episode was "Dark Tribunal".
|
|

|
|
|
The courtroom was a redress of the holosuite set. |

|
The chair in which O'Brien is placed during his
processing is conspicuously similar to those used at most dental
offices. |

This was the first episode directed by Avery Brooks.

Sending the Enterprise-D to the Demilitarized Zone was a
tribute to Star Trek: The Next
Generation, as "Tribunal" was the first Star Trek episode to air
after TNG's series finale, "All
Good Things...". |

Director Avery Brooks on "Tribunal":
"I was glad that Colm was in it, because I enjoy
working with him and watching him work. And it was the first time that
DS9 had gone to Cardassia, so there were new things for me to consider,
like what the temperature was likely to be, and that kind of thing." |

Hair and Makeup Chief Josée Normand describes how
he incorporated some of the courtroom's design into Makbar's hairstyle:
"It was one of those times that I went over to the
set for inspiration. Sometimes when I see the surroundings these people
like and work in, the weird shapes of the furniture or whatever, it
gives me ideas." |
|

Herman Zimmerman describes the Cardassian way:
"Cardassia is a military state, made up of a lot
of factions that are against each other. Spartan, uncompromising and
merciless are all adjectives that you could use to describe Cardassia." |
