Unprepared for the court, they watch a drama spread with no advantage of the plot (Ball, 1975). Courtrooms swirl with gown and rite. Jury, pass judgement on, and spectators suppose roles: viewers, director, trier of the proof. And the legal professionals! attorneys are the foremost dramatis personae. Protagonist and antagonist confront each other as attorneys argue their consumers circumstances within the court docket. They item ceaselessly. They cross?]examine opposing witnesses mercilessly.
