Anti-Thesis - S2-E3
Character mistake: Nicole Wallace has murdered and stolen the identity of Professor Elizabeth Hitchens, who was Australian. While speaking to Detective Goren she refers to her life in Melbourne, pronouncing it the American way : "Mel-born." No Australian would do such a thing - it is pronounced "Melbun." A detail-obsessed knowall like Goren would pick up on that immediately.
Continuity mistake: Near the end, the detectives give Hawkins the murdered woman's manuscript to read and compare. The stack of papers they give him is easily 300-400 pages thick and held together with a large binder clip. Moments later, in a fit of anger, Hawkins throws the manuscript in the air and papers fly everywhere. The problem is that he throws no more than 50 pages in the air.
Continuity mistake: During the opening, the water bottle the woman picks up has significantly more blood on it when she holds it than it did in the previous shot when we see it rolling down the stairs.
Trivia: The first time Chris Noth had played Mike Logan since Exiled: A Law & Order Movie.
Trivia: Detective Goren is loosely based on Sherlock Holmes.
Trivia: In the episode "Renewal," Logan talks about a dream where his old partner , Lenny, comes to him and says he's not dead. But when he wakes up he realizes that Lenny is dead. Lenny was Logan's partner on the original "Law and Order" series in the mid 1990s. The actor who played Lenny (Jerry Orbach) quit the series in 2003, but died of cancer a year later.
Ron Carter: In light of the severity of these crimes, we ask for remand, your honor.
Ms. O'Brien: In light of the weakness of their evidence, remand is absurd.
Ron Carver: The evidence past mustard with the grand jury.
Ms. O'Brien: Oh right, was my client indicted before or after the ham sandwich?
Untethered - S7-E9
Question: When Goren infiltrates the prison, he says that his name is William Brady. He is then given a truth serum and under its effects, he admits his real name and that he's a cop. Given this information, why would he still be kept a prisoner instead of somebody calling the precinct he works at and inform Captain Ross?
Last Rites - S7-E21
Question: In this episode and in the SVU episode "Presumed Guilty" why were the detectives angry at Father Shea for not giving them any information? Clearly they know that as a priest anything that's said to him during confession is priest-penitent confidentiality so he's not allowed to say anything that someone confesses to him.
Unrequited - S3-E12
Question: Why did Marion look at Harvey with shock when the cruise ship up the Hudson river was mentioned?

Suggested correction: Not everyone who is Australian says 'Melbun' when referring to Melbourne.
Utter rubbish. I lived in Australia for thirty five years. Nobody - absolutely nobody - calls it "Mel-Bawn." It's "Melbun." Incidentally, this also applies to the American pronunciation of the capital of Queensland - "Bris-bayne." It's pronounced "Brisbun."
