And then they were both held in contempt of court for shouting too loud...
I've got a few sketches lying about, but I don't have enough time to colour them in on the computer at the moment, but I did have time to do this and I wanted to post up something before the New Year.
So, on a random note, one of my relatives is a Barrister (next up from a Defence Lawyer in the British court law) And I was able to show her a bit of Phoenix Wright, to see what she'd make of it. Didn't get very far, didn't even get to do one proper Objection . Doesn't mean she didn't already find quite a few innaccuries. Desk slamming and shouting isn't allowed for one thing.
And now I can't stop thinking of some situation where Phoenix has to defend someone in a British court while on vacation.
(As for some innaccuracies: Barristers wear all black, but I wanted to keep some of the colours from the original suits. Most Barristers have those white ties, but I did some pictures of some guys with cravats, so this is one of few places Edgey wearing one would look vaguely normal. And yes, they do wear those wigs, although I didn't succeed very well, I wanted to make Edgey's hair lighter for the occasion.)
I remember when we went to see few trials back in school, and it was pretty much what one would expect Finnish Ace Attorney to be.
That is, basically the same minus all the excitement and shouting.
(There was actually an argument about a piece of evidence, a photo taken by a surveillance camera, and the thing they disagreed on was on what day it was taken.)
The Japanese legal system is kinda different though.. no idea if they allow shouting, but since it's Japan I doubt it XD
Actually, when I was in Japan they really were trialling the jurist system, and I was like 'Woah, some of the stuff I learned in Phoenix Wright might actually be true! D=' Apparently you just don't wanna be accused of anything in Japan, because you will be found guilty... hence their trialling of the jurist system. But I don't remember if I learned this legitimately in Japan (I think I did) or just heard it somewhere, so...
Yes, I've heard a bit about that. (When you think about it, it makes Phoenixs/Naruhodo's record all the more impressive)
Even if they don't really allow shouting it's still more fun.
I didn't know they were actually testing the jurist system. I've heard of Phoenix Wright being a parody of the Japanese system, but I didn;t know it was stuff like that.
Still, thank you for the facts, that's very interesting
Yeah, we watched a little student-made film about the dilemmas of the system in media class. the students who made it were worried that the people who were in the jury would be too fickle, influenced by their feelings and mood on the day... courts really were relying mostly on testimony, confessions and evidence before that it seems. I heard that if a defense attorney gets about 4 people off the hook EVER, that's considered a successful career. That's the bit that I'm not sure where I learned it...

WHAT..?! No yelling... in COURT?! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO MY JOB?!
Phoenix: Objection.....!
Edgeworth: Hold it.....! Take that.....
Phoenix: Objection.....! Take that.....
.... Yeah, that's gonna be difficult.

Just thought you might enjoy this fact XD
