List Of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Episodes
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the first-spin off of Law & Order, focuses on crimes of sexual nature. While the victim is often murdered, this is not always the case, and victims often play prominent roles in episodes. The series frequently uses stories that are "ripped from the headlines" or based on real crimes. Such episodes take a real crime and fictionalize it by changing the details. The series premiered on September 20, 1999 on NBC and has completed thirteen seasons so far. SVU started its fourteenth season on September 26, 2012 on NBC.
Most episode titles of Law & Order: SVU between seasons one and twelve are a single word or initialism. Season thirteen changed the pattern to one in which episodes have a two-word title with thirteen letters. A possible exception to this is the November 2011 episode Lost Traveler which has twelve letters as it is spelled by NBC. This is almost certainly a network mistake since showrunner Warren Leight has tweeted about the episode three times, using the spelling Lost Traveller every time.
As of December 5, 2012 (2012 -12-05), 304 original episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit have aired.
During its run, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has had two crossover stories with Law & Order and one with Law & Order: Trial by Jury. The episodes "Entitled" and "Design" begin plots that conclude on the Law & Order episodes "Entitled" and "Flaw". The episode "Night" begins a plot that concludes on the Trial by Jury episode "Day".

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, law, special, victims, unit and/or episodes:
“Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”
—Charlotte Bunch (b. 1944)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“There is all the difference in the world between the criminal’s avoiding the public eye and the civil disobedient’s taking the law into his own hands in open defiance. This distinction between an open violation of the law, performed in public, and a clandestine one is so glaringly obvious that it can be neglected only by prejudice or ill will.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“‘I mean to retire, where
Nobody will have heard about my special skills
And conversation is mainly about the wearther.”
—Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin (b.1942)
“We fetch fire and water, run about all day among the shops and markets, and get our clothes and shoes made and mended, and are the victims of these details, and once in a fortnight we arrive perhaps at a rational moment.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“During the Suffragette revolt of 1913 I ... [urged] that what was needed was not the vote, but a constitutional amendment enacting that all representative bodies shall consist of women and men in equal numbers, whether elected or nominated or coopted or registered or picked up in the street like a coroner’s jury. In the case of elected bodies the only way of effecting this is by the Coupled Vote. The representative unit must not be a man or a woman but a man and a woman.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
