The "Law & Order" franchise has seen many characters come and go over the course of its long tenure, but some have enough staying power to become fixtures of their respective series. District Attorney Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) of the original "Law & Order" (https://www.looper.com/971395/the-transformation-of-sam-waterston-from-childhood-to-law-and-order/) is one such character. Even after NBC canceled the show, McCoy retained his popularity among the franchise's viewers and many of its creators. This was made especially clear when "Law & Order" returned to the small screen in 2022: As revealed in an interview with USA Today (https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2022/02/24/law-and-order-returns-sam-waterston-jack-mccoy/6929127001/), creator Dick Wolf never even bothered to imagine a revival without Jack McCoy.
McCoy gets his staying power from being a man with solid principles. This dedication results in his impressive trial record, which provides fans with plenty of memorable victories. However, McCoy's decisions occasionally seem unorthodox, especially to other attorneys. Some may disagree with his choices, but no one can deny his passion and intensity. These are Jack McCoy's seven best and seven worst moments from "Law & Order."
