Law & Order

Season 13 (24 Episodes)

2002 TV-14 45m 7.8

A crime is tracked from two separate vantage points: the police investigation and the prosecution in court.

Filmed on location in New York, the drama showcases the sometimes-complex process of determining guilt or innocence, while lives hang in the balance. Often inspired by the latest headlines, the plots highlight legal, ethical or personal dilemmas to which people can relate.
