From the IMDB:
ABC confirmed Wednesday that it will drop its long-running legal drama The Practice on May 16 but that some of the actors on the series -- and their characters -- will become part of another legal drama next season. While the David E. Kelley drama focused on criminal law, the new, as-yet-unnamed one will focus on civil law, the ABC announcement said. The show will presumably air in The Practice's Sunday-night time period and reportedly star James Spader, although no talent deals have yet been signed.
It's kind of bad but good news, dontcha think?
As long as Spader is still around, I'm happy.
