CREATOR DAVID E. KELLEY'S GROUND-BREAKING COURTROOM DRAMA TAKES THE STAND
"The Practice"
Volume One
The Award-Winning Series Starring Dylan McDermott Makes Its Long Awaited DVD Debut On June 12 From Fox Home Entertainment
CENTURY CITY, Calif. - Critically-acclaimed for its portrayal of defense attorneys striving to lead ethical lives in an unethical arena, "The Practice" quickly became the cure for the common courtroom drama when it premiered in 1997. Offering audiences a realistic and gritty look into the actual practice of law, the long-coveted and eagerly awaited "The Practice" Volume One debuts on DVD June 12, 2007 from Fox Home Entertainment. From David E. Kelley - the creative mind behind "Boston Legal," "Ally McBeal," "Picket Fences," "L.A. Law" and many other television staples - the acclaimed, Boston-based series features an all-star ensemble cast including Dylan McDermott ("The Grid," In The Line Of Fire), Michael Badalucco (Summer Of Sam, The Man Who Wasn't There), Lisa Gay Hamilton (The Sum of All Fears, "Conviction"), Steve Harris (Minority Report, Diary Of A Mad Black Woman), Camryn Manheim (Happiness, An Unfinished Life), Kelli Williams ("Scrubs," Zapped Again) and Lara Flynn Boyle (Happiness, Men In Black II).
The series' first season earned an Emmy® Award for Outstanding Drama, as well as wins for Camryn Manheim for Outstanding Supporting Actress and John Laroquette for Outstanding Guest Actor. Creator David E. Kelley also received an Emmy nomination in the Best Writing category for his incendiary episode "Betrayal." This four-disc DVD collection includes all 13 episodes from the first season, as well as a "Setting Up "The Practice"' featurette with new on-camera interviews with Kelley and Executive Producer Robert Breech. "The Practice" Volume One is available for the suggested retail price of $39.98 U.S. / $54.98 Canada.
