Law & Order
"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 is a crime drama television series aired on NBC that premiered in September 1990. The show is primarily split into two halves. The first half ("Law"), follows two New York City Police Department homicide detectives investigating a crime. This crime is not always a homicide, especially in the first several seasons of the show, before Law & Order: Special Victims Unit premiered. The second half of the show ("Order") focuses on the District Attorney's office trying to convict a suspect.

Law & Order season 19 began airing on 4 November 2008.
