For a little while, I was learning to become a paralegal. That was enough. I can’t watch courtroom dramas anymore. The most common thing I see that doesn’t happen is someone surprising the other side with an eleventh hour witness or piece of evidence pulled out of their whatever. It’s just… never that dramatic. Unless really terrible lawyers are involved, then it’s a shitshow. One lawyer in our area tried to conduct a sting operation and sell drugs to people to discredit them as witnesses, then admitted it in open court. His license was suspended. How he got to keep it at all is a mystery to me.
