Season 11 Episode Guide
24 Episodes 2000 - 2001
Season Eleven of the NBC procedural drama "Law and Order" dramatizes more ongoing chronicles of the NYPD homicide division that investigates crimes and the New York City District Attorney's office responsible for prosecuting them. This season brings back Senior Detective Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach), detective supervisor Anita Van Buren (S. Epatha Merkerson), Executive ADA Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) and ADA Abbie Carmichael (Angie Harmon), with Interim D.A. Nora Lewin (Dianne Wiest) replacing longtime DA Adam Schiff; this season also includes a prominent cameo by then NYC mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Cases include: a storeowner slaying that leads to a complicated attempt at extradition from Israel; the homicide of a hockey coach, with the defense arguing that the murderer suffered from "sports rage"; the mysterious death of a scientist and the related kidnapping of 17 laboratory monkeys; a botched hit on a judge that leads to a challenging attempt at apprehension for McCoy; and much more.
