Boston Legal stars Emmy Award-winners James Spader and William Shatner as two Boston attorneys who follow their own moral code but almost always win the case. It was created by David E. Kelley, and he and Bill D'Elia are executive producers. The show is produced in association with 20th Century Fox Television.
