Parent Trap
Rollins represents a man whose drunk driving caused the accident that left his pregnant girlfriend in a coma, and who is now suing to keep her on life support until his unborn child can reach full term; Salerno discovers that Morales's gangbanger client has literally left him holding the smoking gun, and leaks the information to the district attorney's office, leading Morales to be jailed for contempt of court when he refuses to admit that he has the weapon that will convict his client; Mullaney's chain smoking, hard-drinking father comes for a visit bearing bad news; Markowitz tells Mullaney to offer his attackers a plea agreement to end the case, but Kelsey intends to press on by filing a civil suit for loss of consortium; posing as the babysitter, Salerno kidnaps Lucy Morales.
If you're searching for a gripping legal drama that challenges the boundaries of ethics, morality, and personal conviction, look no further than *The Practice*. This American television series, created by David E. Kelley, aired from March 4, 1997, to May 16, 2004. With eight seasons and a total of 168 episodes, *The Practice* offers an in-depth look at the lives of defense attorneys working at the fictional law firm of Donnell Young Dole & Frutt. The show deftly balances humor with serious themes, exploring the moral complexities that come with defending clients in high-stakes cases.
In Season 1, viewers are introduced to an ensemble cast led by Dylan McDermott as Bobby Donnell and Camryn Manheim as Ellenor Frutt. Each character brings their own unique perspective to the practice of law. For instance, Eugene Young (played by Steve Harris) often finds himself grappling with personal issues while trying to protect vulnerable clients from abusive partners or oppressive systems. The interplay between each attorney's professional life and their personal struggles creates an engaging narrative that hooks viewers from the very first episode.
One notable aspect of *The Practice* is its commitment to addressing contemporary social issues through its storylines. From domestic abuse to corporate malfeasance involving big tobacco companies, Season 1 tackles topics that are just as relevant today as they were during its original airing. In Episode 1, Bobby defends a young girl charged with drug possession while Lindsay faces off against her former law professor in a case against a tobacco giant—a plot that highlights both legal strategy and moral ambiguity.
