Just Legal
Just six years ago Jonathan Shapiro was working as an assistant to the lieutenant governor of California and thinking about running for statewide office. But he underwent a major career shift after he wrote a script for The Practice and was hired by producer David E. Kelley. On Sept. 19, Shapiro's own creation, Just Legal, will premiere on WB. Based on Shapiro's family experiences, the show stars Jay Baruchel as an 18-year-old prodigy who passes the California bar exam but can't get a job with a decent law firm. He gets his break when he's hired by an ambulance chaser with an alcohol problem (Don Johnson). The Biz recently spoke with Shapiro about his new show and about how TV may have saved him from a life of unsuccessful political fundraising.

Just Legal
When Jonathan Shapiro started to create the new WB series, Just Legal (airing Mondays at 9 pm/ET, beginning Sept. 19), he drew on a subject close to home: his own brother, who finished law school at the top of his class while still in his teens. (Undeclared's Jay Baruchel plays the role on screen, as apprentice to Don Johnson's veteran lawyer.) Adding to the show's pedigree are Shapiro's stints as a federal prosecutor and assistant U.S attorney in Los Angeles, where he worked such high-profile cases as Rodney King's and the Waco siege before writing for Boston Legal and The Practice. In other words, Just Legal isn't just any legal series.
"My goal here is to try to tell as many absolutely real stories as we can," says Shapiro, noting that the pilot features a case based on one he once prosecuted. "This show is different than other procedurals and o
