AL GORE took him to court. You lose.. this is not the third year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alan also helped Shirley circulate nude photos taken in her youth by simply buying and keeping them to himself, and discouraged a predatory court curator who had appointed himself an administrator of an old woman who was a friend of Catherine Piper by breaking into the man`s house. Tie it up and gag it and steal discs. Yes, like much of what happens in Boston Legal courts, Alan Shore`s argument is incredibly incredible, but . I wish I had written it. While defending Alan, Melvin Palmer told the Utah judge that Alan was “going to the Supreme Court” and “winning the case.” Alan pleaded in the fourth season before the Supreme Court, but the result was not announced. This confirms that Alan won this case in the Supreme Court In the fourth season, Alan reached the peak of his legal career by representing a death penalty case before the Supreme Court. He criticized many sitting judges for the politicization of the Supreme Court.
An interesting point is that he has largely (but not only) attacked Republican-appointed judges, which is consistent with Alan`s liberal stance on many issues. Denny, although he didn`t really argue, insisted on attending the trial because he never pleaded before the Supreme Court. He saw this opportunity as a must for his legacy to be complete. In the fifth season, the sixth episode, it is revealed that he has won this case. On the night of the April 22 primary in Pennsylvania, viewers were subjected to one of the most vocal critics of the conservative Supreme Court since John Roberts Jr. became Chief Justice in 2005. But the attack was not delivered by a candidate or a cable news program. Instead, he came during an extraordinary episode of the ABC legal drama/comedy “Boston Legal.” He is considered an unethical lawyer because of the sometimes dubious methods he uses to help his clients; However, Alan seems to be able to help his clients and fellow lawyers when no one else can, due to his quick wit and obvious fearlessness of the consequences of his illegal actions. Once, an unlicensed physician removed a bullet from one of Lori Colson`s clients after the client refused to have it extracted in a hospital because she could convict him; Alan helped him because the bullet could have put the man`s life in danger.
However, Alan is unwavering in his defense of the underdog (unless he represents the other side). A tireless promoter of various left-wing causes and with liberal views, Alan supports freedom of choice, gun control, the Democratic Party and passionately opposes the Iraq war and the death penalty, which has led to sharp political ideological conflicts between him and Denny, who is a staunch supporter of war, the death penalty, the conservative Republican and the Bush supporter on several occasions. But their friendship remains intact despite political differences. He constantly expresses his disappointment and disillusionment with the way the country has changed in recent years and regularly raises these issues in court. The second time is in the courtroom of Danny`s ex-therapist in the episode Race Ipsa (episode). Dr. Sydney Fields pulls out the gun when Alan questions him on the witness stand. Sydney tells Denny that he is going to shoot Alan in front of his eyes and the whole court and kill a person who sees Denny as his best friend that Denny cares about and to whom he tells his secrets. Things were much more animated in the series, where Alan Shore, known for his convincing closing arguments and inappropriate comments in the courtroom, took the opportunity to criticize several judges individually and the court as a whole.
Here is some selected information as well as a clip on YouTube: Alan was born in Dedham, Massachusetts in 1962. he is of Scottish origin; his great-grandfather Jack Shore emigrated from Scotland to the United States in 1903. Alan`s childhood included having one of his secretaries, Cathrine Piper, as a neighbor to whom he played pranks. Alan talked about two childhood friends he had. One of them was Paul Stewart, whom he first met in kindergarten, and Tom Dougan, who would later become a priest. At the age of 14, Alan lost his virginity to a friend of his mother`s. Alan slept with Paul`s mother when he was 16. According to one of his courtroom closures, Alan claims to have his great-great-grandfather, great-grandfather Jack Shore, grandmother Monica Shore, father Peter Shore, mother and siblings, although this was never really confirmed as he may have invented them for the purposes of this closing argument. At one point in his life, he had to seek help from a sexual surrogate named Joanna to help him cope with perhaps the most unusual paraphilia: some sort of attraction to his mother and the way she touched him when she matched (not sexually) his pants when he was a child. “It was striking how the episode matched Kennedy`s actual facts, down to the smallest detail, and (with the exception of some Tira) to the real legal arguments the parties are defending,” Fisher said in an email. There are many lawyers, myself included, who would talk to the Supreme Court in this way. For my part, I lost all respect for this institution after Bush v.
Gore. Never again will I believe that this Court really represents more than the expansion of a political programme. I`d like the issues raised by Alan Shore (James Spader) to be addressed again in another episode of Boston Legal. If the Supreme Court were to initiate disciplinary proceedings against Shore for his conduct in court, the arguments about the correctness of his arguments could be fascinating. As soon as I saw the news, I wondered if SCOTUS had seen this episode and based its decision on Alan Shore`s (James Spaders) Emmy-worthy speech. If he doesn`t win the Emmy for the second year in a row for this speech, there`s something wrong with Emmy voters. I mean,, it influenced the U.S. Supreme Court (don`t you think they saw the epsiod), what proof do you still need to know it`s worthy of an Emmy!!! Spader is supposed to be advocating on behalf of his client, a child rapist sentenced to death in a case that reflects you in real life. But it is straying from the right path. “You turned this court from a branch of government dedicated to civil rights and freedoms into a protector of discrimination, a guardian of the government, a slave to financial interests and big business, and today, Hallelujah, you are trying to kill a mentally handicapped man,” he said.
I tried something like this a few years ago in a letter written to the California Court of Appeals, although it has been toned down. A bit about how the farm had lost touch with what was really going on. It`s something you can write but never say face to face.
