If you’re a fan of legal dramas, listen up.  TNT has just picked up Steven Bocho’s drama pilot “Raising the Bar”, and is greenlighting it to go to series.  TNT has ordered 10 episodes of the show, which revolves around young lawyers who have been friends since law school, but now work on opposing sides.

The show’s main stars are Jane Kaczmarek, Gloria Reuben, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar.  The series was created by Bochco and lawyer-writer David Feige, author of the 2006 book “Indefensible.” Acting as director for the pilot was Bochco’s son, Jesse Bochco.  Steven Bochco will serve as the series executive producer.

TNT released this statement about the upcoming new series:

“‘Raising the Bar’ is the sort of smart, highly charged legal drama for which Steven Bochco is known and an ideal fit for our line-up,” Turner’s top content executive Michael Wright said. “Steven and the exceptional cast and crew he’s assembled have put together an excellent drama, and we’re proud to add another talent-rich, entertaining series to the TNT schedule.”

“Raising the Bar” was just one of four pilots greenlighted by TNT last year.  Other greenlit shows include “Leverage”, “Family Man”, and “Truth in Advertising”.  These three shows, however, are still waiting on a series pickup.
