In what episode of SVU does Elliot Stabler leave the show?
Season 12 ended with a girl with a gun shooting people in the squad room, so Det. Stabler shot and killed her. But during the hiatus between season 12 and 13, Christopher Meloni, the actor who plays Elliott Stabler, could not negotiate a new contract for season 13 of SVU.
The script handled the situation by saying that Stabler had quit over the shooting incident. Elliott didn't appear, his resignation was discussed by the other characters so we would know why he wasn't there. That's a good sign because they didn't kill him off. It's possible that, if he can negotiate a contract for guest appearances we may see him on the show again.

What television shows and movies are based on real court cases?
The Law and Order series really do take stories from the headlines. When they do that, the story will start off just like the real case then take twists and turns that end the episode far differently than the real case. I know this because I'm very well versed in real crime stories and often recognize the case that the story came from, even some reasonably obscure cases. The Law and Order CI episode, 'Bombshell' is an example that most people would recognize as the case of Anna Nicole Smith. See the link below for a clip of that show.
The Lifetime channel specializes in made for TV movies about real cases. Although it's popular to satirize their programing, their movies are recreations of some very serious cases about some really bad crimes.
Some of the more famous theater movies based on real crimes go back to the 1932 'I Was a Fugitive From a Chain Gang' based on a biography by James Allen, the real fugitive; or the well known 1967 movies, 'In Cold Blood" and 'Bonnie and Clyde; the 1976 movie 'Helter Skelter', the story of the Manson crimes; the 2002 'Catch Me If You Can', the story of Frank Abagnale Jr.; the 2003 'Monster', the story of Aileen Wuornos. These are some of the more well known real crime movies, there are many more. See the link below for a partial list.

Will Rhodium Nights episode of Law and Order be continued?

How realistic is Law and Order?
The stories on Law & Order are said to be "ripped from the headlines," and that is the truth. Most Law & Order episodes are inspired by true events. They pick popular news stories, and they take a tiny kernal of truth from those stories and twist it and change it until it becomes fiction.
For example, a couple of years ago the actress/screenwriter/director Adrienne Shelley was murdered in her New York City apartment. It was an apartment she kept as a studio, for writing. There was a lot of construction going on in the building, and the noise was ruining her concentration. So she went down and complained, and one of the workers ended up killing her, because she threatened to call the police and he was an illegal alien.
A few months later, the exact same story becomes the plot of a new Law & Order episode. Except, in the Law & Order episode, the illegal alien worker only injured the woman, not killed her. Instead, the guy who owned the construction company killed her, because he was hiring mostly illegal aliens and he didn't want the police to find out about it. If the woman complained about being assaulted by one of the workers, the police might find out that he was hiring mostly illegals for his business.
I watch a lot of Law & Order, and I also watch a lot of true-crime shows on Court TV (which has now changed its name to TruTV). And it's really funny: I'll watch a true crime story on TruTV, and then I'll change the channel to Law & Order, and I'll find myself watching the fictionalized version of that same story!
However, I don't think the legal stuff is anywhere near as realistic as the crimes. Half of the tricks the prosecutors come up with would never be allowed in real life. Like, last season there was an episode about a man who was obsessed with a girl he met once in college, who he perceived as his lost love. At the trial, the prosecutors brought in another woman, and tricked him into believing she was the girl he'd met in college. While the prosecutor is questioning her, he just loses it and blurts out a confession.
Now, what I know about the law could be printed on a postage stamp. But still, I am pretty sure that such antics would never fly in an actual court of law.
