The closest (hopefully) we’ll ever get to being in court
The re-release ofApollo Justicefor the Nintendo 3DS gives me a perfect opportunity to bring up some of the important lessons the series has taught us about the law.
In the strange world of Japanifornia, the courts are a place not only of finding guilt, but of putting on the most incredible, often bizarre displays of justice possible. Your arguments are only as good as the flair with which you give them. Just look at their outfits: who but the most desperate performer would wear these suits?
I have a degree in criminal law, so I thought I knew about the law (it’s true, and also extremely convenient right now). But you never really know justice until you hear it from Apollo Justice. Here are some of the things I learned:
These are only some of the things I learned from the games. The series is an indispensable learning tool for anyone looking to become a lawyer themself, and I would highly recommend it for anyone trying to study for exams. Your grades, of course, are your own fault because I can’t control what you learn. I think it helps if you practice a few times before the big day. I mean, it always seems like all of the ‘Ace Attorneys’ could have used some rehearsing ahead of time.
