The first and only season of Law & Order: Trial by Jury premiered on March 3, 2005 and concluded on January 21, 2006. On May 16, 2005, the series was cancelled due to low ratings as a result of sharing the same time slot as rival series Numb3rs, which beat TBJ in ratings. Despite there being 13 episodes in the season, only 12 episodes aired on NBC, with the series finale airing on TruTv, which was called Court TV at the time of its airing. This season aired alongside season fifteen of Law & Order, season six of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and season four of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
