The 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 mirrored current events at the time of the episodes' initial broadcast. Conflict between legal ethics and personal morality was a recurring theme.
The Practice, 讲一帮刑事辩护律师的故事。里面有大量的法庭辩论。以交叉询问为主,精彩的美国法庭戏。此剧是完全仿真的以法律调查为主题的系列剧。这是一家充满激情的律师事务所。对他们来说,每一个案子都是重要的,也会为每一个客户的利益争取到底。运用合法的策略是他们的工作方式,他们更依靠科学,把最受质疑的论点变得具有说服性。并且仍把追求正义放在首位,直到最终的结果被宣布……有时也会在宣判之后。然而追求正义,也常常使他们要面对伦理道德的是非问题。
Section One, a clandestine anti-terrorist organization, fakes the death of a jailed, convicted murderer and, believing her twin assets of beauty and ability to kill will make her a valuable new operative, trains her in the fighting skills necessary to succeed in her new job. The new operative, code-named 'Josephine', proves to be somewhat less ruthless than planned, however, as she had been falsely convicted and never murdered anyone.
