'''John James McCoy''' is a fictional character in the American television drama ''Law & Order''. He was created by Dick Wolf and Michael S. Chernuchin and has been portrayed by Sam Waterston during the show's original run from 1994 to 2010 and again from 2022 until his retirement in 2024. He is the longest-tenured character on the show, appearing in 19 seasons. In addition to appearances in 405 episodes of ''Law & Order'', the character appeared in other shows across the ''Law & Order'' franchise, including four episodes of ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'', two episodes of ''Law & Order: Trial by Jury'', two crossover episodes of ''Homicide: Life on the Street'', and the made-for-TV movie ''Exiled''.
Waterston's performance as McCoy on the New York–based series was so popular that it resulted in Waterston being declared a "Living Landmark" by the New York Landmarks Conservancy, in a joint recognition with fellow longtime series cast member Jerry Orbach, who portrayed NYPD detective Lennie Briscoe on ''Law & Order'' for 12 seasons.<ref>{{cite news |first=James |last=Barron |title=Public Lives |work=The New York Times |date=September 28, 2000 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/28/nyregion/public-lives.html |url-access=subscription |access-date=2025-05-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150527142008/https://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/28/nyregion/public-lives.html |archive-date=May 27, 2015 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=<!--not stated, or generic Staff--> |title=Living Landmarks Honoree List |date=2025-05-12 |publisher=The New York Landmarks Conservancy |url=http://www.nylandmarks.org/events/living_landmarks_gala/honoree_list/ |access-date=2025-05-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191011195246/http://www.nylandmarks.org/events/living_landmarks_gala/honoree_list/ |archive-date=2019-10-11 |url-status=dead |quote=Jerry Orbach & Sam Waterston}}</ref>
==Character overview== McCoy is introduced as Executive Assistant District Attorney by Adam Schiff (Steven Hill) in the season five premiere episode "Second Opinion". He has been nicknamed "Hang 'em High McCoy".<ref>{{Cite episode|title=Trophy|episode-link=Law & Order season 6#ep123|series=Law & Order|series-link=Law & Order|network=NBC|airdate= January 31, 1996|season=6|number=12}}</ref> He describes himself as a "junkyard dog".<ref>{{Cite episode|title=Justice|episode-link=Law & Order season 10#ep210|series=Law & Order|series-link=Law & Order|network=NBC|airdate= November 10, 1999|season=10|number=5|quote=Then you can impress on your client that he's dealing with a junkyard dog.}}</ref> He is well-respected in the legal community, once referred to as "the top of the legal food chain" by a rival attorney during a trial.<ref>{{Cite episode|title=Chosen|episode-link=Law & Order season 13#ep288|series=Law & Order|series-link=Law & Order|network=NBC|airdate= January 15, 2003|season=13|number=11}}</ref>
Following the 17th season (2006–2007), McCoy is appointed interim district attorney, taking over from Arthur Branch (Fred Thompson). McCoy's appearance on ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'' on the November 13, 2007, episode "Blinded" marked his first appearance in the ''Law & Order'' universe as district attorney.
''Law & Order'' originally ceased production in 2010, but McCoy (though not seen) was still occasionally referenced as the Manhattan DA in ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'' in several episodes through 2011. A reference to "the new DA" in a 2013 ''SVU'' episode suggested that McCoy had left the position, although his replacement was unnamed. Among the new DA's staffing changes were making Cutter a Bureau Chief ADA of the Special Victims Unit. Cutter, in turn, was replaced as EADA by David Haden. The new DA's career was eventually one of several ended by the massive statewide scandal involving madam Delia Wilson and her sex trafficking ring.
This made McCoy the DA again in 2018, appearing in the ''SVU'' episode "The Undiscovered Country". In 2022, he appeared as the DA in the revival of the original ''Law & Order'', with ADAs Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) and Samantha Maroun (Odelya Halevi) working under him.<ref>{{cite news|first=Nellie|last=Andreeva|title=Sam Waterston Returns To 'Law & Order', Will Reprise Jack McCoy Role In NBC Revival|url=https://deadline.com/2021/12/sam-waterston-law-order-revival-jack-mccoy-season-21-nbc-1234892316/|work=Deadline Hollywood|date=December 16, 2021|access-date=December 16, 2021}}</ref>
Waterston made his final appearance as McCoy in the 2024 episode "Last Dance". In the episode, a case in which a politically connected tech billionaire is charged with murdering a woman he had raped years earlier earns McCoy the enmity of New York City Mayor Robert Payne (Bruce Altman), who threatens to destroy his career and those of Nolan and Maroun unless they back off from calling his son as a witness, which would reveal the younger Payne's extramarital affairs. McCoy prosecutes the case himself and obtains a guilty verdict; he then resigns as DA so the governor will appoint an interim successor, thus denying the vindictive Payne the chance to run him out of office and replace him with a lackey who would fire every ADA on his staff.<ref>{{Cite episode|title=Last Dance|episode-link=Law & Order season 23#ep493|series=Law & Order|series-link=Law & Order|network=NBC|airdate= February 22, 2024|season=23|number=5}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|first=Emily|last=Longeretta|url=https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/what-happened-jack-mccoy-law-and-order-sam-waterston-1235918482/#!|title=How Sam Waterston's Jack McCoy Exited 'Law & Order'|website=Variety|date=February 22, 2024|accessdate=February 23, 2024}}</ref>

When Detective Rey Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) tries to dissuade McCoy from doing so, reminding him that he is a Catholic, McCoy responds, "Not when I'm at work."<ref>{{Cite episode|title=Thrill|episode-link=Law & Order season 8#ep158|series=Law & Order|series-link=Law & Order|network=NBC|airdate= September 24, 1997|season=8|number=1}}</ref>
