It falls within the era where Detectives Lennie Briscoe and Ed Green (or Moni/Curtis in earlier/later seasons, but S11 focuses on Green) are investigating, with McCoy handling the courtroom drama.

This episode centers on a legal battle led by ADA Jack McCoy, focusing on a legal "hubris" or a high-stakes scenario involving a manipulative perpetrator.

Note: The results initially provided a mix of search contexts, including a game (Deadlock), The Battle Cats, and a Law & Order marathon, but the valid television episode listing for S11E9 "Hubris" matches the 2000-2001 Law & Order production timeline.
