NBC orders show with ‘Conviction’

NBC has ordered another drama series from Dick Wolf, but it doesn’t start with “Law & Order.”

“Conviction” will follow a bunch of young assistant district attorneys in New York as they are confronted with high-profile cases that challenge their limited experience. NBC has ordered 13 episodes.

So far, the only known star of the new series is the “Law & Order: Trial by Jury” set. Wolf, whose shop is set up at NBC Universal, and NBC, which is owned by NBC Universal, decided not to scrap the sets when NBC killed that show last spring. Some of them will be used in “Conviction.”
