Notes

  • Jesse L. Martin joins the cast as Det. Ed Green in this season.
  • This is the final season to feature Steven Hill as Adam Schiff. Hill was the last original cast member to leave the series.
  • The Law & Order spinoff, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, debuted at the time of this season.
  • This season features all five of the series' longest serving characters: Anita Van Buren (17 seasons), Jack McCoy (16 seasons), Lennie Briscoe (12 seasons), Adam Schiff (10 seasons) and Ed Green (9 seasons). Additionally, one member of the original cast of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (Mariska Hargitay), who remains on the show to date, appears in the episode 'Entitled.' Christopher Meloni departed SVU in 2011, Richard Belzer in 2013, and Dann Florek in 2014.
  • "Entitled," episode 219, is a continuation of an SVU episode of the same name.
  • Adrienne Shelly guest starred in the episode of 'Law & Order' titled "High & Low" (Season 10) in which she portrayed the character Wendy Alston. Shelly herself would later be murdered, which inspired the episode 'Melting Pot' (Season 17).
