Law & Order

Truth matters.

Created by Dick Wolf

On NBC

A procedural legal drama that splits its focus between police investigation and courtroom prosecution, offering the reassurance of weekly case resolution despite grim subject matter.

In cases ripped from the headlines, police investigate serious and often deadly crimes, weighing the evidence and questioning the suspects until someone is taken into custody. The district attorney's office then builds a case to convict the perpetrator by proving the person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Working together, these expert teams navigate all sides of the complex criminal justice system to make New York a safer place.
