法律与秩序的剧情简介
该剧每集分上下两部分, 分别讲述纽约市警察局局曼哈顿区第27警署警探破案和曼哈顿检察官起诉罪犯的故事。跟别的探案剧不同的是,法律与秩序很少有枪战追击火爆场面,也很少有高科技,更没有超人的英雄。 警探们靠排查摸底一条街一条街的跑查案,检察官们靠在法庭内外一次一次的辩论谈判将坏人绳之于法。剧集分为两部分,前半个钟头聚焦两位警探(一位老警官+一位年轻警官搭配),在管区副队长的指导帮助下,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,执行助理检查官(EADA,executive assistant district attorney)和助理检察官(ADA,assistant district attorney)依据繁琐复杂的法律程序,在检察官(DA,district attorney)的领导下,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。
