Is this the first episode of Boston Legal you have ever watched?
If you were a regular viewer you'd know that Crane, Poole & Schmidt take on varying cases, and there is usually a few people at the firm who don't agree with it, and a few that do. In the episode you're refering to one of the lawyers representing the client clearly did not agree that women should be given priesthood (word?), but he argued in her favour anyway. That's what's interesting about some of their cases: If they are hired to try a case they have to try to win, even if they don't always agree with it.
I will admit that the writers (not one person writes every episode, keep in mind) seem to sway to a Democratic way of thinking, but you can always count on Denny Crane (William Shatner) to bring up the more Republican view.
It's a really great show, so don't judge it by this single episode.
