Well, Alana is probably the hottest, but Angie Harmon is definitely a close second, and far above third place (probably Jill Hennessey?).
I hear ya on 3rd place being far behind…Hennessy was just decent in her day. It's hard to evaluate her because she was on the show long enough ago that her looks are dated.
90s style!!
Personally I'd pick Annie Parisse for 3rd, even though she was pretty awful as far as acting goes.

Alana somehow acts hot, so even her photos never seem to do her justice. I'd put henessy second, but haven't seen those in awhile.

Really? I was getting sort of tired of him as ADA. I think the show (or TV in general) sort of outgrew his pontificating. In the 2000s we're all so sensitive about moral issues that to watch any TV actor talk about them with conviction is uncomfortable.
McCoy as ADA made the show for so many years, but his character got kind of stale. Plus I always hoped he'd make the jump to DA, it's a good career move for him

this is so true haha, I went looking for pics of her and realized that the main reason she's so hot on the show is because of how she carries herself

Oh god, she's so bad. There's one scene with her and McCoy in chambers where evidence is about to get thrown out (due to Fontana's misconduct) and she wrangles some "inevitable discovery" loophole, and McCoy says like, "Excellent, Alex", but her character is "conflicted" and she delivers this line like, "I don't want to talk about it", like she's some 14 year old girl after a breakup. It's so bad, I just cringe every time I think about it.

Yeah, his character now is sort of the logical extension of the old McCoy, grumpier, impatient and more of a bully, but I would've almost preferred the character leave the show than become that considering what he was in the earlier seasons.

did you know she first appeared on the show as the prostitute GF of a mafioso character? When I saw that episode I was like…wow, good career move honey: one day you're taking a break from turning tricks to testify against your bf, the next you've landed a job with the ADA that was cross-examining you

Yeah, she was a stripper, a friend of the stripper who was murdered or something.

Yeah, for whatever reason her looks don't translate nearly as well as they should to pictures. I mean, she still looks hot, but not like she does in the show, where she seems practically flawless.

reeeeeeeeeally hit or miss. Some episodes he's really sharp, but some it's just too over the top, with that exaggerated lean and maddening cadence during his investigates and interrogations.

I think it's just because she is a sympathetic person, unlike Jack McCoy who is wielding blind justice. The show portraits her as a caring female, who is sometimes conflicted by her personal convictions and her role as a lawyer in the DA's office.

Most of the time he's good. He is nothing like Heratio on Miami, god he is bad...
Also on Vincent D'onofrio, he got really sick or something at some point in the filming is what I heard, that is why they alternate actors mid season. Overall he is one of my favorite TV actors.

I was talking more about her poor acting than her weak character. It's no coincidence she was the shortest tenured ADA and that they + Show Spoiler +killed her and stuffed her in a trunk

Well, no one brought up S. Epatha Merkerson! xD

Yeah, he was suffering from exhaustion, which is why they brought Chris Noth back into the series. (That character, Mike Logan, was the original junior detective on the original L&O)
