He replaced Cabot, Novak, Haden, and Cutter in the ADA role for Season 14 in a recurring role before being promoted to the main cast in Season 15. He has had guest roles in the series since the twenty-first season. He resigned from his job in "The Undiscovered Country" after being too traumatized by a case involving an infant with MDDS. He became a defense attorney in 2021 and defended a man who had murdered his daughter's rapist. Barba was a by-the-book, no-nonsense ADA who requested a lateral transfer from Brooklyn to Manhattan shortly after the events of the Bart Ganzel/Delia Wilson case. Barba will put pressure on whomever he needs to win the case, whether it is the victim or the arresting officers. It is revealed that Barba grew up in the Bronx, and gained a scholarship to Harvard University, where he studied law. When visiting Manor Hill Academy, it is revealed he went to a Catholic high school. He states that he was madly in love with a girl named Lauren Sullivan in the eleventh grade. Barba revealed to Jack McCoy that he resented his father, as most people did. Barba's father later entered into a diabetic coma and was eventually declared brain-dead, but Barba refused to remove him from life support even though it prolonged his suffering. Barba was left with lifelong guilt over this afterwards. Barba is blackmailed by rape and murder suspect David Willard into dropping all charges on him when he leveraged one of Barba's worst prosecution handlings: Ashtonja Abreu's mother Marianna was addicted to heroine but also a witness to a double rapist-murderer's crimes. After showing up to the courthouse suffering from withdrawal, Barba gave her money to buy more heroine. She was then able to get high and testify, successfully putting the perpetrator away with her testimony. However, Marianna died from a heroin overdose eight hours after she took the stand. Barba paid Ashtonja and her grandmother ever since to support them as an endless attempt at atonement for his actions, and to help their struggling income.
