Pursuing justice however sometimes means crossing the line...System Requirements:Running Time: 559 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 024543426226 Manufacturer No: 2242623 Amazon.com: Defense attorney Bobby Donnell could've had his pick of high-paying jobs at any number of fancy Boston law firms. Instead, he chose to be his own boss. The Practice: Volume One combines all six episodes from the debut mini season in 1997, along with seven episodes from the sophomore year. Though it would've been a more cohesive collection if entire two seasons were included on this four-disc DVD set, it's still a welcome addition for fans of this David E. Kelley drama. Starring Dylan McDermott as Bobby, the cast also includes Kelli Williams as uber-attorney Lindsay Dole, Emmy Award winner Camryn Manheim as Ellenor Frutt, and former cop-turned-defense attorney Eugene Young (Steve Harris). Then there's their friend--and also foil--prosecutor Helen Gamble (Lara Flynn Boyle), who admires the team's tenacity but stops at nothing to beat them in court. During the early seasons, Donnell's firm doesn't bring in enough money to decorate their offices, which are filthy--just like many of their clients. But as they slowly build a reputation as the go-to firm for clients who most likely are guilty but want to be set free, they begin to wrestle with moral dilemmas. As can be expected from a Kelley series, the cases presented here are fabulously sensationalist. But they also touch on human emotions, such as when they represent a client who was fired for being unattractive. The lawyers also have bittersweet moments as they realize they have surpassed their former legal mentors, some of whom have been seduced by the promise of big money. The most compelling episodes involve Dole--a brilliant but unseasoned attorney--who slowly and methodically tackles the tobacco industry. While the opponent has teams of senior attorneys, associates, paralegals, and interns at its disposal, Dole tirelessly works the case and refuses to give in, even when the outcome seems inevitable. The end result isn't believable in the least, but her passion sets the groundwork for one of the show's most watchable characters. --Jae-Ha Kim The Practice: Volume One Extras

 Rating:  - Great seriesI love this show because it gets involved with a lawyers life, along with his or her work life. Very funny at times, but overall captivating. Enjoy it! Rating: - GreatI enjoyed The Practice - Vol. one...would like to be able to get volume two....The video isn't boring as you'd think lawyer shows can be, it's also humourous at times and relates to happennings in real life. I also enjoy that their personel life is brought in as well as the public cases. Rating: - Excellent & RealisticDavid E. Kelly has huge talent. He grabs the attention of the viewer and doesn't let go until the verdict is read. Each character is developed with style and care. The viewer really feels like they know the team and clients. DEK has the ability to tell the story with a realistic pen and what better back drop than Boston? I love this show! I wish they would release more seasons on DVD. Looking forward to the new season of Boston Legal which The Practice created. DEK - Keep the ...

Rating: - The Best Legal Show EverThe Practice still remains relevant even with today's HD tv and crazy out-of-this-world special effects. This will always be my favorite legal series of all time!
