–Chicago Justice Season 1 tagline

Chicago Justice season 1 premiered on March 1, 2017 and concluded on May 14, 2017 on NBC.

At the center of the show is prosecutor Peter Stone, the ambitious Deputy Chief of the Special Prosecutions Bureau. Relentless in his quest for justice, it's more than a job, it's a purpose. Son of renowned New York City District Attorney Ben Stone, Stone is shooting at a target that only he can see. This often puts him in direct conflict with Mark Jefferies, the Cook County State's Attorney who sees the world through a political prism. While Jefferies believes that a good prosecutor gives the jury and the public a clear, clean and digestible narrative, Stone is convinced the law isn't always best served in a sound bite. Together with their team, Stone and Jefferies strive to bring some much-needed justice to the city of Chicago.

The team also includes Assistant State's Attorney Anna Valdez, a passionate newcomer, who's more flexible and willing to bend the rules to get the right result; Laura Nagel, a tough-as-nails State's Attorney Investigator who sees each case through the eyes of the victim; and Antonio Dawson, a level-headed and by-the-book detective turned Chief Investigator.
