Law and Order is an American police procedural and legal drama series created by Dick Wolf. The program, which aired on NBC, is structured as a two-part drama that focuses on the New York criminal justice system. The first half of each episode follows police detectives as they investigate a violent crime, weigh evidence, and question suspects until an individual is taken into custody. The second half of the episode shifts to the legal proceedings, where the district attorney's office works to build a case and prove the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt. This procedural format is designed to explore how the system functions from the initial crime scene through the final court trial. The series is produced by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television.
