Courtroom Quotes

Laura Linney quote: "Courtroom dramas can be boring."
Courtroom dramas can be boring. Laura Linney
Courtrooms contain every symbol of authority that a set designer could imagine. Everyone stands up when you come in. You wear a costume identifying you as, if not quite divine, someone special. Irving R. Kaufman
Clarence Darrow quote: "Justice has nothing to do with what goes on in a courtroom;..."
Justice has nothing to do with what goes on in a courtroom; Justice is what comes out of a courtroom. Clarence Darrow
In the courtroom, it's where a lawyer really becomes an actor. There's a very fine line between delivering a monologue in a play and delivering a monologue to a jury. I've always felt that way - I've been in a lot of courtrooms. The best lawyers are really theatrical. Woody Harrelson
Hollow then produced Kobel’s tax returns for the past three years. When Ringling objected, Hollow said to Judge Rollins, “Your Honor, a man who files a tax return is of sound mind.” “That’s debatable,” said the ultraconservative judge, drawing laughter from the courtroom. Jeffery Deaver
The courtroom is one instance of the fact that while our society may be liberal and democratic in some large and vague sense, its moving parts, its smaller chambers--its classrooms, its workplaces, its corporate boardrooms, its jails, its military barracks--are flagrantly undemocratic, dominated by one commanding person or a tiny elite of power. Howard Zinn
For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, the demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere."Blessed are the merciful" in a courtroom? "Blessed are the peacemakers" in the Pentagon? Give me a break! Kurt Vonnegut
Pablo Neruda quote: "And what importance do I have in the courtroom of oblivion?"
And what importance do I have in the courtroom of oblivion? Pablo Neruda
There was polite laughter in the courtroom. Bosch noticed that the attorneys -- prosecution and defense -- dutifully joined in, a couple of them overdoing it. It had been his experience that while in open court a judge could not possibly tell a joke that the lawyers did not laugh at. Michael Connelly
People in the courtroom let loose with their disgust, cursing us, d--ning us, we who had become less than human. Marranos. Pigs. As for me, I felt something rise in my throat: the horror of the world of men. Alice Hoffman
The penalty for laughing in a courtroom is six months in jail; if it were not for this penalty, the jury would never hear the evidence. H. L. Mencken
The courtroom is a quiet place, Judge Roberts, where you park your political ideology, and you call the balls and you call the strikes. Lindsey Graham
Well, one thing, you got to stand in a courtroom and listen to a judge sentencing you to 25 years in prison before you realize that freedom of expression can no longer be taken for granted. Larry Flynt
Having a Congress with a more diverse educational and professional background would serve the country well. And given the budget challenges facing America today, we might benefit from a few more cold, calculating problem solvers, and fewer courtroom impresarios. John Sununu
Mary McGrory quote: "Haldeman is the only man in America in this generation who let..."
Haldeman is the only man in America in this generation who let his hair grow for a courtroom appearance. Mary McGrory
