WE tv is remembering the late Law & Order actor Steven Hill with a binge-athon of his best Law & Order episodes, the cable network announced Friday.

Hill, who died Tuesday at the age of 94, played District Attorney Adam Schiff for 10 seasons from 1990 to 2000. With 229 episodes under his belt, Hill portrayed the longest-running character from the original cast.

WE tv will air five back-to-back episodes from seasons 7 and 8 on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET. Fans can also visit WEtv.com to access motivational quote cards featuring some of Hill’s character’s most memorable one-liners.

See the schedule, along with episode descriptions from WE tv, below:

“Terminal,” 8 p.m. ET

“The cops uncover a man with a secret second life as they try to learn who opened fire on a group of people disembarking from a party cruise, but his guilt or innocence becomes almost a second thought as Adam Schiff goes toe-to-toe with the governor and the state’s attorney general over the decision to seek the death penalty. Meanwhile Schiff learns his wife has been rushed to Cedar’s Hospital after suffering a severe stroke rendering her unconscious.”

“Burned,” 9 p.m. ET

“A message overheard on an answering machine leads Briscoe and Curtis to a confessed murderer and the home of wealthy Carl Anderton, an old friend of Adam Schiff, whose stubborn non-cooperation with the district attorney threatens to create a serious miscarriage of justice.”

“Under the Influence,” 10 p.m. ET

“After Briscoe and Curtis finally determine who was driving the car that killed three people, the legal prosecution stands in danger of becoming a kangaroo court when McCoy’s feelings over Kincaid mesh with the political agenda of Gary Feldman, an ambitious judge anxious to make an example of the defendant to boost his election chances against Adam Schiff.”

“Bad Girl,” 11 p.m. ET

“Schiff’s reelection may hinge on the stabbing death of a police officer; Briscoe’s daughter is arrested for dealing drugs.”

“Monster,” 12 a.m. ET

“A snitch offers Briscoe a chance to avenge his daughter’s death. The NYPD brass is looking to force Lieutenant Van Buren out of her job, while Ross resigns from hers to devote more time to her family life and her ongoing divorce. McCoy, meanwhile, must contend with Judge Feldman as an adversary both at trial and outside the courtroom due to an ethics complaint the judge filed against him. While all of this goes on, Schiff begins to consider the possibility that Feldman might defeat him in the election.”
