The 4th installment of Law & Order created by Law & Order's mastermind Dick Wolf, Trial by Jury takes a hard look at the judicial part of a case, and the lawyers and people involved during a trial.
The show follows a crime, usually adapted from current headlines, from two separate vantage points. The first half of the show concentrates on the investigation of the crime by the police, the second half follows the prosecution of the crime in court.
