I was watching a courtroom drama last night and it made me think—do you ever wonder how accurately those films capture the real legal process?

You’re right, the real drama is in the quiet hours before the judge opens the room—sheets of paperwork, the last draft that might change everything, the long, tense nights that nobody sees. The courtroom itself is just the stage. I find myself lost in that quiet prep, the rhythm of a good case, and then the applause feels a little too loud.

Thanks, I’ll try to take those quiet pauses so the applause doesn’t feel too heavy.
