"Ethically-challenged attorney Alan Shore, formerly of Young, Frutt & Berluti, settles in at a wealthy and powerful firm focusing on civil cases. With some help from his friend and mentor, veteran attorney Denny Crane, Shore quickly makes his mark winning cases no one would take, often using less than honest methods. In doing so, he develops a rival in his colleague Brad Chase, who has been assigned to the office partly to keep an eye on the increasingly eccentric (and possibly senile) Denny Crane. Though his questionable conduct might make him a few enemies along the way, Alan's not one to be underestimated, nor will he let trivial things like honesty or integrity get in the way of winning a case." Written by Todd Smitts

I rarely start topics.. Just caught this description, on another site, looking for info on the last episode (I forgot how the show had ended, though I had watched probably every episode twice).

The way Alan Shore's role was described, isn't how the show went. For a masterpiece, such as Boston Legal, there has to be a more carefully written synopsis. I'm kinda surprised that it's published on IMDB, like that, as the default..

What part is "not how it went?" He did come from The Practice, he did win cases unethically-- even if sometimes they were morally correct. And the character itself in The Practice went sort of wild when he took over the Practice... he changed the name on the door and locked the partners out---even though he was not a partner.

I love him and think he is the best charcter ever on TV.

I hope you're very young, bc if not, you're terribly naive. Virtually all content on imdb, like all content on wikipedia, is user-generated -- which means that most of it is inaccurate and badly written.

The rise of the Internet (= free content) has meant the death of the editing profession. If you want to see thought-provoking, insightful, eloquent prose make a comeback, then start subscribing to newspapers and magazines -- it's the only hope for the revival of editors.
