In its spectacular fifth and final season, Boston Legal tackles some of today's most inflammatory - and sometimes irreverent - social and moral issues, from teen pregnancy and the death penalty to sex surrogates and Alzheimer's. Now, as Crane, Poole & Schmidt faces financial ruin, its brilliant attorneys face chaotic caseloads filled with malpractice, murder, love and lust. There's a surprise engagement - or two - and, of course, the bittersweet final act of this remarkable series. Starring Emmy Award winners James Spader, Candice Bergen, John Larroquette and William Shatner, Boston Legal remains one of the most vibrant, dramatic, hilarious and consistently brilliant shows on television. Case Closed!
