As a Massachusetts-raised son of a Hockey Hall of Famer, Jack Kelley, David E. Kelley traded his hockey stick for a pen after graduating from Princeton with a degree in Political Science. While at the Boston University School of Law, Kelley wrote for The Legal Follies, a sketch comedy group. After taking a position at a Boston law firm, Kelley immersed himself in a "hobby" screenplay that became the 1987 movie starring Judd Nelson, From the Hip. Meanwhile, Hill Street Blues creator Steven Bochco was searching for a writer to assist him on his new series, LA Law. Kelley's name was shared in discovery, and the legal eagle became an official TV writer.
