Summary of The Practice
Lawyers with ethical issues--the premise for David E. Kelley's legal series--sounds like the punch line for a bad joke. But this enduring drama dealt with the dilemmas of the lawyers at Donnell and Associates with sincerity and intelligence. Dylan McDermott stars as Bobby Donnell, the head of a small Boston law firm who wrestles with the morals of defending both the guilty and the innocent. But Bobby doesn't have to choose between the high road and the low road alone thanks to the efforts of associate attorneys played by Michael Badalucco, Steve Harris, Camryn Manheim, and Kelli Williams. Bobby's frequent conflicts (and chemistry) with prosecutor Helen Gamble (Lara Flynn Boyle) add further depth to the acclaimed show. Lisa Gay Hamilton also stars as legal assistant Rebecca Washington.
