I'm aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?

About 9/10 court scenes a lawyer walks around the well and doesn't get beaten with a baton, really annoys me.

I’ve heard this said, can you verify for me where the lawyer stands?

If his position is truly still behind his table, what if the witness/jurors are hard of hearing?

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 10 points 3 weeks ago

you just don't enter the well without asking permission. it's all behind the desk. it's one of the most rampant tv law tropes that just isn't realistic

Then the lawyer asks permission before going anywhere. But if a witness or juror is hard of hearing, they'll have aids/accomodations provided.

They get a microphone. In the old timey days and some low funding courts the lawyers have to be very good and loud speakers.
