Good news. Love that show.
Sounds like Law & Order: Trial By Jury just with a different name. I agree with the comments in the article: Raul Esperanza would be perfect for this.NBC has given a direct to series order for Law and Order: For The Defense. Article link
Hopefully we'll get a Law & Order: Organized Crime renewal soon. And I guess they just gave up on Law & Order: Hate Crimes?
