An American journalist once described the courtroom as “A place where Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot would be equals, with the betting odds favoring Judas” And to a certain extent this is the case. Love them or loath them, the courts are central to our society - enabling us to negotiate our problems without coming to blows. The courtroom has provided the backdrop to some of the best dramas ever committed to film. We bring together our favourites - from To Kill a Mockingbird to Boston Legal; all kinds of lawyers from Michael Clayton to Denny Crane. The Court is in session, add to your list and enjoy.
