The personal and professional lives of Boston's most experienced litigators form the foundation of this prime-time comedy drama that has been nominated for multiple Emmy Awards since its 2004 premiere. When Washington, D.C., attorney Brad Chase (
Mark Valley) was relocated to Boston to keep an eye on senior Crane, Poole & Schmidt partner Denny Crane (
William Shatner), he had no idea what he was getting into. Meanwhile, as Chase does his best to keep an eye on Crane, Alan Shore (
James Spader) uses ethically questionable methods to win the cases that no one else will touch. A spin-off of the Emmy Award-winning legal drama
The Practice,
Boston Legal has also featured such respected actors as
Candice Bergen,
René Auberjonois, and
John Larroquette. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
