Law & Order: Justice is Served is a 2004 adventure and simulation game developed by Legacy Interactive for PC, based on the long-running television series of the same name. The game centers on the murder of a rising female tennis star whose body is discovered in a locker room. Players work alongside the familiar cast from the TV show, conducting an investigation to identify the killer and then collaborating with the District Attorney's office to construct a sufficiently compelling legal case to secure a guilty verdict. The experience mirrors the two-part structure of the source material, moving from crime scene investigation through to courtroom prosecution, and is aimed at fans of procedural detective fiction who want to engage with the Law & Order format in an interactive setting.
During a junior tennis tournament, a young player is found murdered in the stadium's locker room. The game player works with NYPD detectives Lennie Briscoe and Ed Green as they investigate the crime and make the arrest. Once accomplished, the player works with ADA Serena Southerlyn to try to crack the case, but there are twists and turns that reveal dark secrets about the sport and its players. For the first time in the game series, and in the format of the show, a second junior detective's role for the player is introduced, rather than the player being Briscoe's partner. This was due to the developers' wish to include Jesse L. Martin in one of their games. DA Charles Northcutt, played by Alan Oppenheimer, is a character created exclusively for the game who does not appear in the main show.
