4 Reasons We Love Olivia Benson

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emerson chapter.

Olivia Benson has been locking up New York’s worst for the past 17 seasons of Law & Order: SVU, and we can’t get enough of the city’s finest lieutenant. Here are four reasons why.

1. Olivia always advocates for victims

She fights her hardest for every victim in every case.

2. She can’t be intimidated

No matter the situation, Liv just won’t back down.

3. She juggles her job and being a great a mom

Adorable baby Noah has one bad*ss mom.

4. Her crew

Lindsey Paradis has loved Boston all her life, and coming from a small Western Mass town she’s had time to enjoy it. Now at Emerson as a Writing, Literature, and Publishing major, she has more than enough time to take in the beautiful city. When she’s not working with preschoolers, Lindsey finds herself writing stories, hanging out with friends, reading her way through Game of Thrones, and watching Sex & the City.
