The Practice

The Practice (March 4, 1997 - May 16, 2004) was an ABC legal drama created by David E. Kelley centering on the partners and associates at a Boston, Massachusetts law firm. The show won the Emmy in 1997 and 1998 for Best Drama Series, and spawned the spin-off series Boston Legal, which began airing in the fall of 2004 and deals with similar subject matter, though often taking a lighter, more character-oriented approach.

The first seven seasons of the show aired in Britain on the ITV3 channel.

The Practice originally focused on the law firm of Donnell and Associates (which eventually became Donnell, Young, Dole and Frutt, and finally Young, Frutt and Berluti), featuring the firm's involvement in a number of high-profile criminal and civil cases that often mirrored events unfolding in the real world. There were a number of crossovers with other David E. Kelley shows, including Boston Public, Ally McBeal and the short-lived medical drama Gideon's Crossing, but The Practice is overall one of David E. Kelley's more serious shows, lacking the comedic elements of McBeal, Legal and others.
