The legal backdrop in television and movies has always been a fairly major trope and has pretty much always garnered a lot of traction from the general public. This popularity can be partially attributed to the intensity and grip of legal settings, but also to the exceedingly dynamic drama that happens in the courtrooms. Considering how these settings are fictional, despite the general realism of lawyers and legal backdrop, it creates a sense of entertainment for people when they're not directly involved in something that can be considered highly consequential in real life.
