Uhmm, that was like a bait because in actual sense, I've never seen a court case in real life but honestly, I think I know a lot that goes on in a court more than some people who have been there before. One course I would hate to study even if I get the chance is Law and this surprisingly has nothing to do with my love for crime and law movies.
Out of ten movies I've seen, five are crime and law genres that gets me into the life of a lawyer, a defendant, an accused and committing crimes that leads to court activities. There was one I saw that even gave more teaching on how court cases are like, I learnt a lot from it that it felt like I've been to court before.
Like some of us would have known already, court experiences doesn't have to come from committing a crime or going there to solve a crime case with the judge. I've been to a court to witness a marriage and I really love how it is done.
Real court cases are differently fun and educating...
But I would be so honoured to witness a real court case where the accused will be found guilty and sentenced in my presence or it could be the opposite where the accused will be vindicated and freed immediately... It can be really fun to watch the barter that goes on before the final verdict.
From how the lawyers who defends the accused dresses to how the judges who give final verdict stays composed even in shocking situations, everything about that is cool to me and I hardly get tired of watching how court cases play out.
I visited the court before though...
The only times I remember visiting the court was to get paper works done and I'm sure you know that the process definitely doesn't require you seeing a real lawyer or sitting with an audience to watch the bad guys go to prison or the good guys get vindicated.
But one thing I can say I noticed for all those times I visited the court is something I'm looking forward to having in the future if I'm able to own a house. The different courts have been to has this in common and I'm even more surprised that Nigerian courts are like that too 😅 no offence Nigerians.
Court environments are serene and clean always...
There was a day I went to a court, I was surprised to see how littered the place was but just right in my presence, some uniformed women began cleaning up the place and they were gisting about how they will be having a case coming in that afternoon. I didn't ask but I wondered if it was possible to watch a case even when it had nothing to do with you. I guess I was too busy to stay till that time so I didn't ask.
Court places are so calm and quiet but it's even more quieter when there's a case ongoing inside. Audience are always asked to stay quiet through out the procedure, defaulters are sent outside. I won't be surprised if talkatives don't like visiting the court, they really never get the chance to say anything except they want to be caught and sent outside.
I really need to ask around if there's any close to me who have been inside a court so I can learn more but I think it's always better to witness it myself and I plan to just don't know when that would be.
Have you been to the court before to witness a case?
