"Law and Order," the longest-running crime series and tied for the longest-running drama series in the history of television, is now in its 20th season on NBC.

The brainchild of creator Dick Wolf, "Law & Order" is the most successful brand in primetime television. "Law and Order" is the 1997 Emmy Award winner for Outstanding Drama Series and the record holder for the most consecutive (11) nominations in that category for a primetime series (tied with "Cheers" and "M*A*S*H"). "Law and Order" has also become one of entertainment's preeminent brands, with its successful spin-offs "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."

Filmed entirely on location in New York, "Law and Order" is a realistic program that looks at crime and justice from a dual perspective. In the first half-hour of "Law and Order," Detective Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) and his partner, Detective Kevin Bernard (Anthony Anderson), investigate crimes and apprehend suspects under the supervision of their precinct lieutenant, Anita Van Buren (S. Epatha Merkerson). In the second half-hour of "Law and Order," the focus shifts to the criminal courts as Chief Assistant District Attorney Michael Cutter (Linus Roache) and the Executive Assistant District Attorney Connie Rubirosa (Alana De La Garza) work within a complicated justice system to prosecute the accused under the guidance of the no-nonsense District Attorney Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston).

Some "Law and Order" cases may be simple, but most are multi-faceted. The "Law and Order" 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 on "Law and Order" lives often hang in the balance.

"Law & Order" is a Wolf Films production in association with Universal Media Studios. Dick Wolf is creator and executive producer of "Law and Order"; Rene Balcer, Fred Berner and Peter Jankowski are the executive producers.
