In the fourth season, Alan reached the peak of his legal career by representing a death penalty case before the Supreme Court. He criticized many sitting judges for the politicization of the Supreme Court. An interesting point is that he has largely (but not only) attacked Republican-appointed judges, which is consistent with Alan`s liberal stance on many issues. Denny, although he didn`t really argue, insisted on attending the trial because he never pleaded before the Supreme Court. He saw this opportunity as a must for his legacy to be complete. In the fifth season, the sixth episode, it is revealed that he has won this case. Due to the ongoing court case, Waddle did not comment on the situation, but he said the incident made him aware of his environment and behavior. “It can happen to anyone,” Waddle said. “You started your antennas.

Once, an unlicensed physician removed a bullet from one of Lori Colson`s clients after the client refused to have it extracted in a hospital because she could convict him; Alan helped him because the bullet could have had a deadly effect on the man.

Short Reporter / Lincoln Look-alike #1 / Photographer (1 episode, 2006) In Boston Legal, he talks about his wife Mary Shore and how she could guess exactly what he would think and do. However, Alan speaks lovingly about his wife and expresses the otherwise invisible emotion of regret for her death. It is noteworthy that he was irritated by his strange ability to guess every thought he thought, even when he tried to be unpredictable. Often, many of Alan`s behaviors support this claim. Alan states many times that he is sure that his first fate will be murder. He worries, if only to Denny Crane, that he fears waking up alone, because he is sure to have been murdered in his sleep in a previous life. Alan considers Denny his best friend, and every night he drinks scotch and smokes cigars with Denny on the balcony of his office, often thinking about the events of the day and confessing his most intimate fears and desires, while showing his many curiosities and eccentricities and often confessing his platonic love for each other.

Alan has also shown that he is sensitive to certain women throughout his life, although he continues to gain his temper. When Lorraine was first introduced, he was suffering from word salad and felt intimidated by her, which almost affected his ability to represent Shirley in a case. This became clear again when another old flame, Pheobe Prentice, came up against Alan in a case in which Alan sued a large tobacco company representing Phoebe. Despite the initial complaints and loss of form, Alan recovered and won the case with a total damage of $213 million.
