Oh, Laurie, great topic, I'm a huge, HUGE fan of courtroom drama...who doesn't love Matlock? My very favorite courtroom film is Anatomy of a murder - here's a Youtube video I posted... RIGHT HERE

Also From The Hip starring Judd Nelson is a great one in addition to many posted here.

p.s. ...And Justice for All.

Fried Green Tomatoes has a good courtroom scene.

All of Me with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin is screamingly funny and has a great courtroom scene.

And remember the episode of Seinfeld in which Kramer is a witness for Newman when he's trying to beat a speeding ticket? One of my favorites and it ends with a nice little bit of slapstick.
