Compared to more flamboyant courtroom drama fare like the Ace Attorney series, it might seem far less glamorous to set players behind the scenes, piecing together evidence and preparing documents that will ultimately determine whether someone is prosecuted or let go.

When family relationships are strained, a bonding activity can sometimes help to reduce the tension and repair frayed ties.
