S L.A. Law: The Movie
In this reunion movie, also known as L.A. Law: Return to Justice, Leland McKenzie has retired and left Douglas Brackman, Jr. as the senior managing partner, while former partner Michael Kuzak, now a successful restaurant owner, goes up against old flame Grace Van Owen when he is called out of retirement to help stop the impeding execution of a former client on death row. Meanwhile, divorce lawyer Arnie Becker deals with his most toughest divorce: his own, where his estranged young wife has hired former McKenzie-Brackman lawyer Abby Perkins as her legal representation; Roxanne deals with her ex-husband, who claims that he's dying and wants to spend some quality time with her; and Ann and Stuart find themselves the victims of a scam artist. New employees to the firm are Brackman's over-achieving son Jason, and ambitious and conniving associate Chloe Carpenter.
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.
