【简要介绍】：
"In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories."
Law & Order, the longest-running crime series and the second longest-running drama series in the history of television, enters its 17th season on NBC in the 2006-2007 season.
The brainchild of creator Dick Wolf, Law & Order is the most successful brand in primetime television as the 1997 Emmy Award winner for Outstanding Drama Series and the record holder for the most consecutive (11) nominations for a drama series. It has also turned into one of entertainment’s preeminent brands, with its successful spinoffs Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Criminal Intent. There were another two spin-offs as well, Law & Order: Trial by Jury and the real life Law & Order show, Crime & Punishment.
Filmed entirely on location in New York City, this realistic program looks at crime and justice from a dual perspective. In the first half-hour, Detectives Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin, Rent) and Nina Cassady (Milena Govich, Conviction) investigate crimes and apprehend suspects under the supervision of their precinct lieutenant, Anita Van Buren (S. Epatha Merkerson). In the second half-hour, the focus shifts to the criminal courts, as Executive Assistant District Attorney Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) and Assistant District Attorney Connie Rubirosa (Alana De La Garza) work within a complicated justice system to prosecute the accused under the guidance of District Attorney Arthur Branch (Fred Dalton Thompson).
Some cases may be simple, but most are multi-faceted. The investigations are challenging, prosecutions are complicated, and decisions about legal procedures and plea-bargaining are vexing. In the arduous and complex process of determining guilt and innocence, lives often hang in the balance.

《法律与秩序》，美国电视史上播映时间最长犯罪剧集，也是第二长剧集，并衍生出两部姊妹剧《法律与秩序：特殊受害人单元》(Law & Order: Special Victims Unit)和《法律与秩序：犯罪倾向》(Law & Order: Criminal Intent)。
《法律与秩序》分为警匪较量和法庭辩论两个部分，剧中情节大多取材于真实案例。剧集分为两部分，前半个钟头聚焦乔-方塔纳(Joe Fontana)和埃德-格林(Ed Green)两位警探，在管区中尉安妮塔-范-布伦的指导帮助下，勘查现场、搜寻证据和盘诘疑犯的侦破活动，后半部分则着重记录了案子转交到检察官手上，助理杰克-麦考伊(Jack McCoy)和亚历山德拉-鲍吉亚(Alexandra Borgia)依据繁琐复杂的法律程序，在亚瑟-布兰奇(Arthur Branch)领导下，提起讼诉和出席庭审的过程。有些案件简单明了，但大多数却是错综复杂，曲折离奇，必须遵循的法律程序和抽丝剥茧层层深入的调查，不断考验着几位主人公的智力、精力、耐心和承受力，在案件的侦查和审理过程中，他们还必须竭力寻找生活与工作的平衡点。
