The PracticeOverviewThe Practice focused on the law firm of Robert Donnell and Associates (later becoming Donnell, Young, Dole, & Frutt, and ultimately Young, Frutt, & Berluti). Plots typically featured the firm's involvement in various high-profile criminal and civil cases that often mirror current events. Conflict between legal ethics and personal morality was a recurring theme. Some episodes contained light comedy. Kelley claimed that he conceived the show as something of a rebuttal to L.A. Law (for which he wrote) and its romanticized treatment of the American legal system and legal proceedings.First airedMarch 4, 1997URL slugthe-practiceGenresDramaArtworkPosterBackgroundNo imageIconBannerSeasonsSpecials4 episodesSeason 16 episodesSeason 228 episodesSeason 323 episodesSeason 422 episodesSeason 522 episodesSeason 623 episodesSeason 722 episodesSeason 822 episodesCast & crewCast — Bobby Donnell — Rebecca Washington — Eugene Young — Ellenor Frutt — Jimmy Berluti — A.D.A.
