‘Law & Order,’ an American police procedural and legal drama series, was created by Dick Wolf and brought to life by Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, laying the foundation for the ‘Law & Order’ franchise. Set and filmed in New York City, the show adopts a dual approach: the initial half-hour focuses on the investigation of a crime, typically murder, and the apprehension of a suspect by detectives from the New York City Police Department's homicide division, while the latter half delves into the prosecution of the defendant by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. Plots often draw inspiration from real-life cases that have recently captured headlines, although the motives behind the crimes and the perpetrators may differ significantly. Over the years, the series has amassed an array of awards and nominations, including multiple Emmy Awards.
