A young girl.
A battle for autonomy.
And a courtroom torn between law and compassion.

In Boston Legal Season 5 (2008), a 15-year-old Chinese immigrant, already pregnant, seeks help from Alan Shore. She insists on ending her pregnancy, but as a minor, the law requires parental consent—her father is dead, and her mother would never agree. Desperate, she pleads for judicial bypass. Alan, conflicted, wants to help, but his partner Denny Crane and Shirley Schmidt warn him this case will leave scars. Shirley tells Alan that, as a mother, she would want to protect her daughter, not enable such a choice. Yet the girl overhears Shirley’s reasoning and boldly challenges her—asking if being a minor means being forced to carry a child, attend school, and raise it against her will.

The moral weight crushes the room. Alan pushes forward, determined that the girl deserves her own voice, her own decision. In this moment, the law isn’t abstract—it’s a direct clash between cultural norms, parental authority, and a young woman’s right to control her body.
