The Practice is a legal drama television series that aired from 1997 to 2004. It follows a group of lawyers at a Boston law firm and their clients as they navigate the complex and often controversial world of law.

In season 1 episode 4, titled "Part IV," the lawyers at the firm take on two separate cases. The first involves a man named Gary Armbrust who has been accused of killing two police officers. The prosecution is seeking the death penalty, and the defense team, led by Bobby Donnell (played by Dylan McDermott), must try to prove that Armbrust acted in self-defense.

The second case involves a woman named Karen Vogle who is suing her former employer for wrongful termination. Vogle claims that she was fired for refusing to participate in illegal activity at her workplace, and the lawyers at the firm must help her prove her case.

As the two cases unfold, tensions rise both in and out of the courtroom. The attorneys face challenges from the prosecution, their own personal demons, and each other as they try to secure victories for their clients.

"Part IV" also delves into the personal lives of the attorneys, giving viewers a glimpse into their relationships, fears, and struggles. Donnell is grappling with his past and has a confrontation with his ex-wife. Rebecca Washington (played by Lisa Gay Hamilton) tries to balance her duties as a lawyer with her obligations to her young son. And Eugene Young (played by Steve Harris) must confront his own biases as he defends Armbrust, a white man accused of killing two African American police officers.

The episode culminates in two tense courtroom scenes as Armbrust and Vogle's cases come to a head. The attorneys present their evidence and plead their cases to the jury, and viewers are left on the edge of their seats as they wait to see the outcomes.

Overall, "Part IV" is a well-crafted and intense episode of The Practice that showcases the show's strengths in both legal drama and character development. With engaging storylines and strong performances from the cast, it is a must-watch for fans of the genre.
