The personal and professional lives of Boston`s most experienced litigants form the basis of this prime-time comedy-drama, which has been nominated for several Emmy Awards since its premiere in 2004. When attorney Brad Chase (Mark Valley) was transferred to Boston to keep an eye on Denny Crane (William Shatner), a senior partner at Crane, Poole & Schmidt, he had no idea what he was getting into. While Chase does his best to keep an eye on Crane, Alan Shore (James Spader) uses ethically questionable methods to win the business that no one else will touch. Boston Legal, a spin-off of the Emmy Award-winning legal drama The Practice, also featured respected actors such as Candice Bergen, René Auberjonois and John Larroquette.
