Definitely see part 1 as other reviewer suggests. DA Adam Schiff, played by actor Steven Hill, is grounded in his pressing of Jack McCoys (actor Sam Waterston) walking close to the line of personal liberties vs. security. The court scenes are by far some of the most compelling. Cameo appearance, playing the part of Presiding Justice #1, real life Attorney turned Actor, Richard Lublin, does well in this cameo appearance. I especially enjoyed the character of Chief Judge as played by actor James Caulfield. Judges will make or break one of these episodes, and they always seem to hit it head on! Great Law & Order episode to place on your watch list...
