There is something about a good court drama that really draws people in. Whether it is a fictional TV show or coverage of a high-profile case, viewers cannot get enough. Why is this the case? Well, there is always the element of mystery (is this person really guilty?) and the emotional lawyers (who are especially emphatic in fictional depictions) working to persuade the judge or jury. Nevertheless, there is something more to it.
Law is the foundation of our society, and when people are in trouble with the law — especially when they commit a felony — everyone wants to watch for the consequences. People like to witness justice being carried out. They want to believe our judicial system is as fair as it claims to be. They are drawn to the courtroom because it is a place full of real human emotion and the American values they have always treasured.
