What Season 23 of Law & Order

Season 23 opens with a murder on a university campus, which forces the show to examine where freedom of expression ends and hate speech begins. Shaw and Riley follow the leads on the street, while prosecutors Price and Maroun build the case and must convince a jury. Political pressure weighs on several cases. Prosecutor Baxter demands results from Price and Maroun, and McCoy makes drastic decisions to defend his case. Each episode moves forward with a new investigation and leaves little time for the main characters' personal lives.
