How to write a courtroom scene?

Has anyone ever written a courtroom scene before? What resources did you use to ensure authenticity?

Dustin Bowcott

The best thing you can do is go to a courtroom. In my country you can sit and watch cases, unless they are closed to the public. Mostly though you can just sit and watch. Best education you can get.

Marcus Boyer

Doing research is the best advice I got. Watch clips from Jody Aries trial. Avoid watching things like Nancy Grace. Good Luck!

Monique Mata

Read and study scripts that have extensive courtroom scenes, ie. The Verdict, A Few Good Men.
