World, 10pm
According to one of the many Web sites dedicated to this popular series, the show's executive producer/creator David E. Kelley is to be honoured next year by the Producer's Guild of America with its Lifetime Achievement Award. At 44, Kelley will be youngest recipient ever of the David Susskind Lifetime Achievement Award in Television. Kelley's other hits include Ally McBeal, Picket Fences and Chicago Hope. He is known for his dedication to his shows, often writing or rewriting all the scripts during a season. His TV career began on Steven Bochco's LA Law. Kelley has won six Emmys, including two last year. Back to tonight's episode of The Practice, Harland Bassett (Ernie Sabella) is representing a man charged with lewd and lascivious conduct. Although Bassett is certain his client is innocent, the judge has ordered him to appear in court with co-counsel as he has never won a case before. So Bassett turns to Bobby (Dylan McDermott, above) for help.
