Assistant District Attorney Abbie Carmichael attended law school at the University of Texas at Austin. She joined the New York County DA's office in 1998, transferring from the Narcotics Bureau to replace Jamie Ross as Executive Assistant DA Jack McCoy's assistant. Unlike her predecessor, Carmichael was a staunch political conservative (as is Harmon herself): she was pro-life, opposed gun control, favored the death penalty, and had little to no faith in criminal rehabilitation programs. These (often rigid) political beliefs often put her in conflict with McCoy and DAs Adam Schiff and Nora Lewin, all of whom were of more liberal stripe.

The first case to affect her political outlook was the prosecution of an incarcerated woman who had murdered a corrections officer, who claimed that her victim had forced her into a sexual relationship. Carmichael, who had prosecuted the woman before on a drug charge, had no sympathy for her and seemed hell-bent on putting her in prison for life — until she cross-examined the woman, who revealed that she blamed herself for being raped. This struck a chord in Carmichael, who suddenly arranged a lenient plea bargain for the woman, and later revealed to McCoy that she had been raped as a freshman in college by a law student she had been dating. From this point on, she softened her prosecutorial politics somewhat.

Another significant development in her life was the murder of her friend and fellow ADA Antonella Ricci by the Russian mobsters she was prosecuting. It was the only time during her tenure in the DA's office that she let anyone see her cry.

Despite changes in her life and (to a much lesser degree) legal philosophy, she remained an uncompromising, zealous prosecutor more likely to seek the highest penalties than make plea bargains. Even though they often disagreed, she and McCoy grew to respect each other deeply.
