A good opportunity to research the remake of "12 Angry Men", this time 
with women and coloureds.

Plenty of petty crime examples for a police movie.

There could be lots of typing time whilst waiting for the previous trial 
to finish.

Do the lawyers really think that they can pull the wool over the
eyes of the writer of several "Murder She Wrote" episodes?  Announce
that and one of the lawyers will probably object to you, allowing you
to go home early.  A DVD or script with your name on it will provide proof.

What they will make of a producer of a science fiction show I do not
know.  He may be successful and get onto an interesting case.
