- Synopsis
- Set in Boston, The Practice centers on a firm of passionate attorneys to whom every case is important and every client worth a fight to the end. Legal maneuvering is the firm's modus operandi, and they have it down to a science, making even the most questionable arguments convincing. And while they can't — and don't — win every trial, the pursuit of justice remains the priority until the final verdict is announced … and sometimes afterwards. Pursuing justice, however, often confronts them with serious ethical and moral issues of conscience.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Kelley does two things better than anyone else writing courtroom dramas on television. He exposes and unveils legal tactics in a detailed and inventive fashion, and he does so while creating and sustaining strong characterizations"
-
"'The Practice' remains engrossing because it focuses on the theme that has most interested its creator since he quit being a lawyer to begin writing L.A. Law episodes: ethics."
-
"Idealism and pragmatism clash predictably but powerfully"
-
"Don't expect the new or revolutionary. There's nothing the least bit special about this ensemble drama, set at a barely-scraping-by Boston law firm, except that it's all done so wel"
-
"'The Practice' may not be perfect, but it certainly has a lot going for it -- including a cast that clicks instantly."
-
"[The] series retains such Kelley trademarks as arch dialogue, colorful characters and interesting, quirky and socially relevant situations. "
-
"Unlike 'L.A. Law,' which presented its stars as invincible courtroom warriors, Kelley's 'Practice' emphasizes the gritty details and strange maneuvers that lead to out-of-court settlements"
