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".

“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)

“All gentle cant and philosophizing to the contrary notwithstanding, no people in this world ever did achieve their freedom by goody-goody talk and moral suasion: it being immutable law that all revolutions that will succeed, must begin in blood.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Myths, as compared with folk tales, are usually in a special category of seriousness: they are believed to have “really happened,” or to have some exceptional significance in explaining certain features of life, such as ritual. Again, whereas folk tales simply interchange motifs and develop variants, myths show an odd tendency to stick together and build up bigger structures. We have creation myths, fall and flood myths, metamorphose and dying-god myths.”
—Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
“I don’t see black people as victims even though we are exploited. Victims are flat, one- dimensional characters, someone rolled over by a steamroller so you have a cardboard person. We are far more resilient and more rounded than that. I will go on showing there’s more to us than our being victimized. Victims are dead.”
—Kristin Hunter (b. 1931)
“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)
“Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
