Led by an Emmy Award-winning cast, "Boston Legal" returns for a third season to tell the professional and personal stories of a group of brilliant but often emotionally challenged attorneys. Fast-paced and darkly comedic, the series confronts social and moral issues, while its characters continually stretch the boundaries of the law.
Back-to-back Emmy Award winners James Spader and William Shatner play Alan Shore and Denny Crane, unlikely kindred spirits among the brigade of high-priced litigators at Crane, Poole and Schmidt. In addition, one of the founding law partners, Shirley Schmidt (played by five-time Emmy winner Candice Bergen), has been coaxed back to the Boston law firm to help bring order to the chaotic office. She keeps a vigilant eye on all, particularly Denny Crane - with whom she has a checkered history.
The firm's other attorneys include Brad Chase (Mark Valley), an ex-Marine who often finds himself in a test of wills with Alan Shore, and Paul Lewiston (Rene Auberjonois), the "lawyer's lawyer" who continually tries to save Crane from himself. Then there's Denise Bauer (Julie Bowen), a tough, smart senior associate still desperate to make partner. New to the Boston office of Crane Poole & Schmidt is Jeffrey Coho (Craig Bierko), an intense, grandiose criminal defense attorney as comfortable with making enemies as he is with making friends.
