The ABA Journal convened a jury and came up with a roster of The Theater's 12 Greatest Courtroom Dramas. (No Michigan jurors, but a Michigan winner.) I've seen 11 of the 12 and don't dispute their power, but I may quibble about the order. See the list after the jump:
- Merchant of Venice
- 12 Angry Men
- Inherit the Wind
- Judgment at Nuremberg
- Witness for the Prosecution
- The Caine Mutiny
- A Man For All Seasons
- Anatomy of a Murder
- A Few Good Men
- Chicago
- Oedipus Rex
- The Man in the Glass Box
ABA Journal also suggests a few runner-ups: Night of January 16th, Zoot Suit,The Runner Stumbles, The Crucible, To Kill a Mockingbird, Measure for Measure, and Race.
Other candidates?
