Scores go lower than 7?

Haven't visited IGN for 15 years over that very fact.

Hollywood and video games have made people think the legal field is exciting. It is not. If it is exciting, something has gone WRONG, and most likely you have a judge that should not be on the bench and doesn't really 'get' law.

If it gets exciting in other ways, you're probably getting disbarred.

On the other hand, there's Foxfire Esq, which is a legal drama web serial that is both staunchly legal and also genuinely dramatic and exciting.

(It's written by someone who Really Knows Her Shit and also is a trans woman so two guesses about whether the foxgirl is trans...)

Typically, the most fun you're ever going to have in court is when the opponent's representation is incompetent and either you or the judge get to write something that says so. And even then, it's going to be written in legalese.

Otherwise, you're lucky if you get to read something that's cringe-inducing and hilarious by proxy from a sovereign citizen (WHO DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE UNITED CORPORATION OF AMERICA DOES THIS FLAG HAVE GOLD FRINGE) or a Gondor lawsuit or the like.

I've only played the original trilogy, but I always interpreted the way Phoenix said he entered stuff into evidence as him doing the proper documentation. It's just off-screen.

Now, the fact that people keep being surprised by stuff *does* suggest shenanigans, but also they have absurd deadlines.

And the fact they don't actually have a jury, so you just have to win over the judge

To be fair, it's not based on the American justice system.

I would 110% would play an defense attorney simulator.

The laws of Japanifornia are wild.

Some presumption of innocence would be nice too.
