Re: Ask Howard Treesong About Law or Lawyering
[ QUOTE ]
2: Do you watch Law & Order (or have you ever)? If so, what is your general impression of the courtroom scenes, specifically the motions/objections/etc. that are made? [/ QUOTE ] Mrs. T used to love L&O and so I've watched it from time to time. The hearings are abbreviated but surprisingly close in terms of articulating issues that a judge might actually use to decide an issue. They're more theatrical than reality, but not absurdly so. In general, I'd say they're A-. Most real-life arguments cover more than one argument as to why one side is right; my recollection is that L&O boils these down to single-issue arguments. |
