"Law & Order" defense attorney Danielle Melnick is moving up the ranks in the Windy City. Tovah Feldshuh will reprise her L&O role on "Chicago Justice", where the character is now a judge, TVLine has learned exclusively.

During the final hour of an upcoming three-way crossover with "Chicago Fire" and "Chicago P.D.", Judge Melnick will preside over a case involving a suspected arsonist responsible for multiple murders. Arguing the sides in her courtroom are assistant state’s attorney Peter Stone (Philip Winchester) and defense lawyer Albert Forest (guest star Bradley Whitford).





Feldshuh appeared in 13 episodes of "Law & Order" between 1991 and 2007, during which her character sometimes served as a foil for Ben Stone (Michael Moriarty), the father of Justice lead Peter Stone. She also portrayed Melnick during a 2011 installment of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent".

The special #OneChicago event kicks off Wednesday, March 1 at 8/7c on NBC with "Fire", followed by "P.D." at 9 pm and "Justice" at 10 pm. The newest Windy City-set offshoot then moves to its regular Sundays-at-9 pm timeslot on March 5.
