Who's Your Law & Orderverse Dream Team? Choose Your Perfect Squad

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate, but equally important, groups: the police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.

This is your chance to build your dream team of the two.

In advance of Law & Order: Organized Crime's season finale later this week, and while Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU are on break for the summer, we thought we'd pose this question: Who would staff your ideal squad room?

Before you start shouting out your favorites, a few things to keep in mind:

* To date, seven Law & Order series have aired in the United States; those are the shows we're considering here. In addition to the flagship series, there's SVU, Criminal Intent, Trial by Jury, LA, True Crime and Organized Crime. (Law & Order: Toronto, which has aired Season 1 in Canada and will debut later this year in the U.S. on The CW, is not eligible.)

* In order to keep these sprawling lists from getting even more unwieldy, we limited the choices to characters played by series regulars. (So fans of, say, SVU's Capt. Curry are outta luck.)

* We broke down the pool into LAW (officers in the New York Police Department) and ORDER (those who work for the district attorney's office).* You can choose four from the first, and five from the second. Mirroring his journey in the franchise, Dominick "Sonny" Carisi Jr. shows up on both lists.

*An earlier version of this post had those two categories flipped. The thinking: In an ideal world, police keep order, and lawyers interpret law. However, a consultation of the mothership's original intro deems the cops "law" and the legal eagles "order," so we've updated this post and the polls below. DUN-DUN!
