Product Description:
Further expanding on the success of the original LAW & ORDER series producer Dick Wolf presented LAW & ORDER: TRIAL BY JURY to the television-watching public in March 2005. In a twist on its predecessor's format the series examined criminal trials from not only the perspective of the police and prosecutors but also from the side of the judges defense attorneys defendants and the jury. The show starred familiar and new faces including Fred Dalton Thompson Bebe Neuwirth and Jerry Orbach. All 13 episodes of the series are collected here including one that was never aired on television. Notable guest stars include Candace Bergen Lorraine Braco and in a special crossover storyline with LAW & ORDER: SVU Emmy Award-winner Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 025192135026 Manufacturer No: 21350

There are plenty of things about Law & Order: Trial by Jury, the fourth series and third spinoff (after SVU and Criminal Intent) in executive producer Dick Wolf's popular and reliable franchise, that loyal viewers will find familiar, even comforting. There's the taut, ripped-from-the-headlines storytelling; the Kobe Bryant rape case (in "Pattern of Conduct") and the infamous Amadou Diallo shooting (in "Forty-One Shots") are but two examples among the fourteen episodes in this three-disc set. There are appearances, some of them recurring, by Sam Waterston, Fred Thompson, the late Jerry Orbach (in his final episodes as Det. Lennie Briscoe), and other stalwarts from the original series. There's an SVU "cross-over" episode, and another ("Skeleton") that follows up on the shooting of L & O detective Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin). And then there's the theme music, the intro ("In the criminal justice system")… and that ineffable sound that leads from one scene to another. Yet Trial by Jury also has many aspects that set it apart from the other Law & Order shows. In focusing not on police procedure but on the trial process, it shines a brighter light on the defendants (who in most cases have already been apprehended when an episode starts), the juries (including the selection process, deliberations, and the role of jury consultants), the various lawyers' strategies, and even the judges' personal opinions. All of that leads to some interesting situations, like the scene in "Forty-One Shots" that finds a group of policemen, barred from the courtroom for making a disturbance during the trial of a cop killer, waiting anxiously outside for the verdict. Nevertheless, there are reasons why Trial by Jury failed to connect with viewers, airing for just two months in 2005 before being canceled by NBC. The cast is one of them; for example, A.D.A. Tracey Kibre (Bebe Neuwirth), the lead prosecutor, is tough but not especially likable. More than that, with its predilection for tight close-ups, personal details, melodrama, and such, the series is simply too much like standard nighttime TV fare. Good but not great, Law & Order: Trial by Jury (the set includes a few deleted scenes and a short featurette) will certainly have its adherents, but it falls a little short of its distinguished predecessors. --Sam Graham

I bought this series cheap and it's one of my best purchases to date. Yes, i'm a fan of the other L&O programs but somehow i'd missed this series. Like others i wish i hadn't as it may still be on now. A different formula to the others in the franchise yet still (reassuringly) familiar. Bebe Neuwirth is good but just not perfect for the lead role..my only criticism. Beware, highly addicitve and then you realise it's only one series. Sad really.

Since 1990, despite many cast changes, NBC's longest running drama series Law and Order has kept us interested in the inside and out of crime on the streets of my beloved homeland New York City. The original series introduced the show's concept, the police investigations for half the show and the D.A.'s prosecution the accused for the second half. As years passed, the show became more 60/40 sometimes 70/30 in favor of 1 half of the cast (sometimes the cops, sometimes the D.A.'s). In 1999, Special ... Read More

A good Law and Order series but not as good as the original one or the subsequent followers. The whole story is what is missing even though the end result is just as important.

I first became a fan of the Law and Order franchise when I watched the first series of the original.Then came Criminal Intent followed by SVU.I was getting hooked on the real life Crime and Punishment and I wondered why the plug was pulled.Trial by Jury was good,but it had its flaws.I'm more of a fan of the original and SVU.When Dennis Farina was brought in to replace Jerry Orbach,I thought it was a very good decision.But I was sadden Dennis Farina left the series.He and Jesse Martin's character were ...

I was saddened by Jerry Orbach's death as well as most of his fans were. I think that they had a strong cast though and would have been able to carry the show. I think it was a much better show than Law and Order Criminal Intent,which just confuses me. LOL. I wonder if they will bring it back? I wish they would.
