But I just saw a post today about our favorite one-off defense attorneys(the answer is still Schwimmer from season 14 episode 1 "Bodies") and it struck me: I've seen every episode this season and I can't even tell you what any of the defense attorneys even look like, that's how inconsequential they've been.

Moriarty was replaced by Sam Waterston ( Jack McCoy) in season 5. This season the opening sequence changed to a shorter version with more bass. Beginning with this season, Florek directed several episodes before joining the cast of its 1999 spin-off, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. No.
What exactly Bruner told his first lawyer that made her freak out. It’s strongly implied to be the location of the other bodies, but never confirmed. Given how he tells Serena he wishes she got into his cab, it could have been along those lines as well.
Bruner's first lawyer is far from evil, but admits she gets assigned the worst clients by Legal Aid because she is willing to give them the best defense possible. That said, while willing to defend a child who killed his mother and a mass shooter, Bruner is too evil for her to defend.
Shortly before the jury convicts, Serena tells him given the heinous nature of the case, no bar association would disbar him for talking. He simply replies “Shame on them.”
Even then, they only have to talk about the case they were convicted in, which is exactly what happens to Schwimmer. The episode ends with McCoy and Serena disagreeing on whether Schwimmer will break, rather than Schwimmer being forced to talk.
Here, Schwimmer is charged with being an accessory since he had to unlock and re-lock the location, a novel legal maneuver that is challenged unsuccessfully by his attorney.
If Schwimmer ends up talking. He is certainly not the type of person who looks like he will do well in prison and if McCoy is willing to void his conviction he may finally give up. On the other hand, he is a prime example of The Determinator.
The trial goes extremely poorly for Schwimmer, as McCoy uses a parade of distraught parents of missing young women to condemn the young attorney for his actions. On the stand, Schwimmer tries to convince the jury that he must remain silent or the legal system risks falling apart. When McCoy points out Bruner has already been convicted of two murders and sentenced to death, so revealing the location can’t make his situation any worse, Schwimmer still refuses to budge. The jury convicts quickly, but Schwimmer remains stoic and defiant. McCoy is convinced a week in Rikers will convince Schwimmer to talk; Serena isn’t so sure, but McCoy remains hopeful.
Summary: While investigating the death of a teenaged girl, the detectives stumble on a pattern of crimes that indicate they are after a serial killer. The suspect, however, puts the prosecutors through an ethical ringer when he discloses his attorney's knowledge of the victims and their whereabouts.
