Summary: David Black and Richard Sweren, two writers from the “Law and Order” franchise of crime shows, explore how crime writers deal with Constitutional issues. Do they care if they get it right? Does the public—especially lawyers--get angry when the writers get it wrong? Do they consult with constitutional experts? Do many crime writers have a background in the criminal justice system?
