The Verdict Analysis

While watching “The Verdict” I saw several terms and actions that I learned about in class over the past unit. I could see the type of judge that was portrayed in this film, how the lawyers behaved, and each side 's story. I felt this story really tried to portray the larger image cast throughout the story arc. Despite what the main trends indicated in the plot, the moment to moment interactions created a more prominent and relevant development to the understanding of law and order. As the story began to develop the viewer’s were able to see two main antagonist, and one of them was the judge.
