What Season 14 of Law & Order

Season 14 of Law & Order opens with a very eager court-appointed lawyer who defends a serial killer and puts his career at risk by refusing to reveal information about his client's victims. As in the rest of the series, each episode is split into two halves. Homicide detectives, led by Sergeant Max Greevey and Detective Mike Logan, follow the leads on the street, while Manhattan prosecutors build the case and take it to court. The conflicts range from a bounty hunter's murder to a shootout at City Hall. The main characters' personal lives barely get any screen time.
