Michael Cutter is an Executive Assistant District Attorney working for District Attorney Jack McCoy.

Cutter is like McCoy in that he is willing to bend the rules to solve a crime. In one episode, he nearly commits perjury to allow Detectives Ed Green and Cyrus Lupo to search a store where a victim is hidden. Cutter is willing to use questionable methods to procure guilty charges, such as using a juror's infatuation with Connie Rubirosa to find a guilty plea.
