David E. Kelley is an American writer and producer who was best known for creating television series set in the legal profession and populated with quirky characters. His notable shows included Ally McBeal (1997–2002), The Practice (1997–2004), and Boston Legal (2004–08).

Kelley attended Princeton University, where he graduated with a degree in politics in 1979. Thereafter he enrolled at Boston University Law School, where he received a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in 1983 and then joined a Boston law firm. That same year he began working on a feature film, From the Hip (1987), which explored the ethics of a young lawyer. He became executive producer and story editor for L.A. Law in 1986. In 1989 he helped create Doogie Howser, M.D., a dramedy about a teenaged doctor, and he wrote many of its early scripts. Kelley left L.A. Law at the end of the 1991–92 season and created the Emmy Award-winning Picket Fences, which debuted in 1992. In 1994 he created the medical show Chicago Hope. David E. Kelley has created numerous successful shows throughout three decades, including Boston Public (2000–04), Harry’s Law (2011–12), The Crazy Ones (2013–14), Goliath (2016), Big Little Lies (2017), Mr. Mercedes (2017–present), The Undoing (2020), and Big Sky (2020).
