Personal Profile: Lindsay Dole When The Practice began, Lindsay Dole was the fresh-out-of-college lawyer at Donnell's firm, who beat her former law professor in court when she represented a cancer patient suing a tobacco company. He was her idol, and later on when he was accused of murder she gave everything in her to free the man she new was innocent. But offcourse the battle wasn't easy, she lost, but refused to give up until she did everything she could to get him free. It meant a great deal to her to free him, she was so emotionally involved in the case which lasted through several episodes. That trial was probably one of the biggest achievements of her career. Kelli Williams describes her character as ''so up on the law, yet her personal life is completely dysfunctional. Like most career women, she's focused on her work, and pays little attention to her personal life.'' She is ambitious, a great lawyer, definitely the one to watch. From the old The practice official Site: If you don't look closely at Lindsay, you reach the wrong conclusions. On the surface you see soft and pretty privilege, carefully groomed. You wonder what she's doing here. Lindsay often wonders the same thing. But look closer and you will see what Bobby Donnell saw when he decided to take a chance bringing her into The Practice. Lindsay rose out of privilege, went to all the right schools, joined all the right organizations, got her law degree, with honors, from Harvard Law School, and by all reckoning, she ought to have joined one of those big law firms with the corporate clients. But for Lindsay, something happened back in college. She got herself caught up in ideals. She probably couldnt pinpoint exactly what it was that did it for her, and she doesn't know what it all means. She just has this intuitive twinge that keeps reminding her that what she needs to find cannot be easily found in a career filled with the concerns of corporate clients. So here she is. Constitutional law issues are her metier. The notion of "civil Liberties" really means something to her, and she burns with the desire to do her part in shaping the development of the law as it contours the boundaries of personal freedom. She detests the notion of using her keen intelligence to help guilty clients get free on technicalities, but she has these perfectionist notions that the law should be fairly applied to everybody and that the disadvantaged should not be taken advantage of. Lindsay is dead- serious about the law. At the same time, she wonders whether it was all a mistake, what a friend of hers once referred to as: "This Bobby Donnell nonsense." Lindsay knows it isn't nonsense.
