Law and New Order

Law and New Order was an extremely poular serial holodrama. A successor to the long-running Law and Order franchise that was renamed after the rise of the Galactic Empire, it depicted sensationalized accounts of fictitious criminal cases. These stories typically ran from crime to arrest(s), interrogations, guilty verdict(s) and, in some extreme cases (such as after the destruction of the Death Star), execution.

Historical comparisons between the two iterations showed that, prior to Palpatine's reign, the show was far less bloodthirsty, and cases often ended differently, with suspects going free, guilty verdicts overturned, and whatnot.
