    I would be surprised if any courtroom drama was a solid representation of how courtrooms work. Pretty sure comic courtrooms are based on courtrooms in media where they do everything wrong to be more engaging to watch.

    My Cousin Vinny is one of the few where they do get all the courtroom stuff right and that is mostly the judge being nitpicky, a bunch of slow and tedious formality, and a single exciting moment where an important detail is discovered but the actual way it is presented takes several minutes of explaining because courtrooms don’t have dramatic emotional one liners that end a case.
