<P> Cabot first appears in the SVU episode `` Wrong Is Right '' , when she is hired to work with SVU as their permanent ADA overseeing the legality of its arrests , following a rotating mix of ADAs ( among them Abbie Carmichael of the original Law & Order ) . She is a graduate of Harvard Law School , and has an `` uncle Bill '' who is a federal judge . While Cabot empathizes with the sexual assault victims she deals with , her strict code of legal ethics often forces her to make harsh decisions and judgments that go against her personal feelings . Her moral strictness has garnered her respect within the SVU squad . </P>
