SHIRLEY SCHMIDT AND DENNY CRANE TAKE THE CASE OF A MAN WHOSE LIVELIHOOD IS THREATENED WHEN THE TOWN HE LIVES IN BANS RED MEAT, ON ABC'S "BOSTON LEGAL"

"Til We Meat Again" - Shirley Schmidt and Denny Crane represent a man whose steakhouse is being put out of business as the publicity-hungry mayor has pushed through an ordinance banning red meat for fear of Mad Cow disease, and in the process of trying the case, Crane wins over Schmidt's respect as an attorney. Meanwhile, what begins as an evening out for Alan Shore and Tara Wilson ends in a barroom brawl, with Shore arrested for conspiracy to commit assault and battery. And Lori and Brad serve as second chair for a new attorney Schmidt has just poached from another law firm who refers to himself as "Sexy Man," on "Boston Legal," TUESDAY, AUGUST 30 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
