Trailer
Overview
Law and Order is an American police procedural and legal drama television series created by Dick Wolf. The program focuses on the New York criminal justice system and explores the investigation and prosecution of serious crimes. Each episode is structured as a two-part drama. In the first half, police detectives investigate violent crimes, weigh evidence, and question suspects until an individual is taken into custody. The second half shifts to the district attorney office, where prosecutors build a case to convict the perpetrator by proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. By navigating the complex criminal justice system, these expert teams work to make New York a safer place. The series, which launched the Law and Order franchise, was produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television. It aired its entire run on NBC, premiering on September 13, 1990, and completing its 20th season on May 24, 2010. The show is known for featuring cases ripped from the headlines and involves the collaboration of police and prosecutors to uphold the law.
