It takes a long time to learn that a courtroom is the last place in the world for learning the truth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Courtroom dramas can be boring.
If you take the cameras out of the courtroom, then you hide a certain measure of truth from the public.
Well, honestly, I'm not a massive fan of courtroom dramas.

You never know when you lose a case whether it was because the facts were against you, or because the judges had already made up their minds, or if you could have done something differently.
The work of deciding cases goes on every day in hundreds of courts throughout the land. Any judge, one might suppose, would find it easy to describe the process which he had followed a thousand times and more. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
To play a lawyer and have one year of law school under your belt, you sort of know what you're talking about! I'm able to memorize the legal courtroom stuff a lot faster than I would have been able to otherwise.
The Courtroom is a battlefield, and oral argument requires a fair amount of verbal jousting and sparring with the Justices.
If you're going to educate the public and tell them how things happen in the courtroom, then you really owe them the duty to do it right. Don't misinform.
This is the time that I really miss being in my courtroom because I believe that that's the last place in this country where there's supposed to be fairness.
