The 50 Best "Ripped From the Headlines" 'Law & Order' Episodes, Ranked

Ripped From The Headlines! One of Law & Order’s trademarks, this tradition has survived 25 years and here’s to 25 more! These episodes are interesting, relevant, and usually touching or thought-provoking, unless they stray too far from realism into absurdity (Looking at you SVU! I haven’t forgotten about s10e06 Babes.)

 Some of my favorites from this list include Indifference, Scavenger, and The Reaper’s Helper.
