With an further four Golden Globe nominations for Best Tv Series (Drama), Law & Order is far more than a Tv show, it is a profitable franchise for host network NBC, spawning common spin-offs Law & Order: Particular Victims Unit (1999), Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001), and (the now cancelled) Law & Order: Trial By Jury (2005).

With sixteen productive seasons already on the books, and more on the way, Law & Order remains one particular of the finest drama series available on any network
Law & Order centers close to the New York City criminal justice technique, exactly where "the people are represented by two separate but equally important groups - the police who investigate crime, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders". The very first half of each and every one-hour episode is devoted to the initial revelation of a crime and the police investigation that subsequently requires place. This usually entails interviewing witnesses, following leads, testing evidence, and/or hammering out a confession. As soon as adequate evidence has been gathered to charge a suspect, the remainder of the show revolves close to the district attorney's office and their attempts to prosecute the offenders. Oftentimes, the audience will be witness to unexpected plot twists, unorthodox media-driven circumstances, or last minute, Perry Mason-like confessions or brokered deals. Provided its lengthy Television run, the cast of Law & Order has often modified over the years - with only a handful of characters experiencing lengthy runs, characters such as Det. Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach), Lt. Anita Van Buren (S. Epatha Merkerson), and EADA John "Jack" McCoy (Sam Waterston)
