''Conviction'' (2006) is a short-lived ''Series/LawAndOrder'' spinoff starring Stephanie March as Alex Cabot, formerly of ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'', now the bureau chief of the District Attorney's office. Like ''Series/LawAndOrderTrialByJury'', it focused on the LawProcedural side of the story, although it spent more time exploring the characters' personal drama than other ''Law & Order'' series.

The series was canceled after only 13 episodes. Two of the actors went on to become regulars in other ''Law & Order'' series: Milena Govich as Det. Nina Cassady in ''Series/LawAndOrder'''s 17th season and Julianne Nicholson as Megan Wheeler on ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent''.

* TheUnreveal: It's never explained how Cabot was able to leave Witness Protection. ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'' clarifies that [[spoiler:the man who shot her in 2003 has since been extradited to Ireland.]]
* WillTheyOrWontThey: To a degree, Finn and Peluso. They seem to have a habit of sort-of asking each other out either without one of them noticing or without ''either'' or them noticing.
** This is later resolved in the series finale, when Peluso reveals to Finn that he's in love with her and it's implied by the ending that the two will start a relationship.
