History Series / LawAndOrderTrialByJury

''Law & Order: Trial by Jury'' (2005-2006) is a short-lived spinoff of the original ''Series/LawAndOrder.'' Whereas the other spinoffs focused more on the detectives, ''Trial by Jury'' focused on the [=ADAs=] and [[LawProcedural court proceedings]] of a criminal investigation. The show starred Creator/BebeNeuwirth as Homice Bureau Chief Tracey Kibre, and Amy Carlson as her assistant Kelly Gaffney.

The first two episodes starred Creator/JerryOrbach as Lennie Briscoe, now working as DA Investigator -- his last appearances of primetime television before his death.

-->'''Norman Rothenberg''': You're wasting your time in the DA's office. I could triple what you make.
-->'''Tracey Kibre''': You don't want me, Norman. I have scruples.
-->'''Norman Rothenberg''': They have pills for that!

-->'''Elliot Stabler''': We've got the guy for murdering one woman and raping another, so just tell us, please, there's no chance of him walking out of here tonight.
-->'''Tracey Kibre''': I'd be shocked if he made bail.
-->''cut to Branch's office''
-->'''Arthur Branch''': Of course he made bail!
-->'''Tracey Kibre''': It was two million dollars!

* KangarooCourt: In ""Baby Boom", Kirbe is prosecuting a nanny in a case of infanticide. However the judge (played by Aasif Mandvi), a former legal aid lawyer is blatantly biased against the D.A.'s office and does all he can do to make things easier for the defense -- going so far as to set aside the verdict, when the jury delivers a guilty verdict.

* WhatTheHellHero: Tracey Kibre puts Jack [=McCoy=] to shame at times.
** Kelly Gaffney also later called her out in "Boys Will Be Boys" for excusing Hispanic jurors because they might sympathize.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In "Day" the rapist's mother tries to intimidate his victim from testifying by having someone break into her apartment an write insults all over the walls. However it only straightens her resolve. She was afraid for her reputation (in her culture she's expected to be a virgin until marriage) but after this she figures everyone knows what happened to her anyway so she might as well bring it to court.

Featured two appearances by Creator/JerryOrbach as Detective Lennie Briscoe -- his last episodes of primetime television before his death.

** First for her actions by the presiding judge during the episode where the baby was killed (and he even vacates the jury verdict in her favor as she prejudiced the case). Her colleagues also do it at least a couple of times as well.

* SnuffFilm: In "Skeleton", Kibre and Gaffney believe that a porn producer ordered a hit to cover up the on-video murder of a girl on a tape he sold. It was actually staged, and the lead that led to the discovery of the video planted so they would present the wrong motive for the crime.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Jerry Orbach's death meant Lennie Briscoe's death, as Orbach had only filmed two episodes when he died. In fact, he was reportedly already so weak that he could hardly finishing filming the second episode, and his final lines of dialogue had to be rewritten to accommodate his fatigue. Briscoe's death is not addressed in this show, but the main series eventually establishes that he died shortly after retirement.

* {{Determinator}}: Tracy Kibre.

** Who called who out?
*** Off the top of my head, she was definitely called out for her actions by the presiding judge during the episode where the baby was killed (and he even vacates the jury verdict in her favor as she prejudiced the case). Her colleagues have at least a couple of times as well.
*** Kelly Gaffney also called her out in "Boys Will Be Boys" for excusing Hispanic jurors because they might sympathize.
