1. Pilot
04 Mar '97In the first episode, we were able to get acquainted with the principal characters by following them around and watching them interact. We got to see how they cover for each other, how they back each other up. Ellenor began with an appearance on behalf of ""Free Willy,"" a repeat offender on an indecent exposure charge.

2. Part I
11 Mar '97The second episode provided an excellent ""day-in-the-life"" picture of activity in ""The Practice."" No cases got tried, but difficult dilemmas had to be faced, making for some tense interaction.

01 Apr '97SYNOPSIS OF FIFTH EPISODE The fifth week's episode treated everyone to another powerful trial outing for Eugene. He successfully defended Steven Frenault, charged with the knife-point armed robbery of a professional photographer who testified he had ""absolute certainty"" about his identification of Frenault as the perpetrator. Eugene not only took the court-assigned case to trial; he also took a couple of side bets on his own powers as a cross examiner. And, in much the same manner as the l
