9 out of 10 people found the following review useful.
Missing this show should be a crime, 14 February 1999
Author: Scream-11 from The Woodlands, Texas

The Practice is the only show on television that never fails to make me reconsider my views on some of the controversial issues in society today. The writing is the best I've ever seen on television, and I love the characters, but the best thing about the show is that it deals creatively with important topics, like euthanasia and attorney/client privilege. As long as The Practice continues to take my breath away every week, I will be a devoted fan.
