The Practice: Difference between revisions

 

In its original form, it was a straight series of literate and intelligent courtroom dramas. Around the middle seasons, the show shifted substantially towards criminal drama, often featuring the now almost reputable firm being plagued by its dirtier former clients. In the last seasons, the show started focusing more on the characters' personal lives, both in and out of court (see [[One of Our Own]]), and developing increasingly far-out plots with criminally insane clients rather than just sleazy ones, a move that did not prove popular with audience or critics. This shift ended in a conclusive [[Retool|Retooling]] in the last season, retiring a lot of the cast including even the lead character, and ultimately becoming a [[Poorly-Disguised Pilot]] for its [[Spin-Off]], ''[[Boston Legal]]''.

 

* [[Accuse the Witness]]: Used several times. It even becomes something of a trademark of the titular firm, code-named "Plan B."

* [[Ambiguous Situation]]: Frequently, as the show often doesn't reveal whether or not the defendant actually is guilty.
