Best courtroom scenes?
Hello, all-
I am preparing for my first trial....OK, it's a mock trial for my Trial Practice course, but it's definitely my first time. As part of my preparation, I am watching courtroom scenes to pick up tactics I like. (This was actually recommended to the class by my professor) I've rented "My Cousin Vinny" and "To Kill A Mockingbird" for this weekend, as well as "Twelve Angry Men" (I figure it might give me some insight into juror psychology)
So I ask you, beloved TFP-ers--what are your favorite courtroom movies? Television shows? And what do you find effective about these fictitious lawyers? Do they give a passionate oratory? Do they have a particularly warm demeanor? I appreciate your help!
Best,
Sabrina
