Probably the meatiest Law & Order ever got in this vein was in the episode where the Governor removes Adam Schiff from a case after he only filed second-degree murder charges, not first-degree murder. Here's Schiff and McCoy working on the appeal:

Excerpt of transcript from the Law & Order episode “Terminal” (Season 7, Episode 23). The transcript (which is just a website's strip-mining the closed-captioning) does not identify who says which line, but I think I can identify the speakers from memory: MCCOY: They're gonna beat us over the head with Mulroy v. Carey. That's what worked for them against Johnson in the Bronx. SCHIFF: Mulroy only gives the governor *virtually* unfettered discretion to take over a case. MCCOY: You're going to hang your hat on
