Court Case hearing - To my suprise !!

I had always liked to be present for a court case hearing since childhood. But, I had never had a chance to see the scene other than in the television. Mostly almost all cinemas especially tamil ones bring atleast one court scene in the picture.
Last weekend, my brother-in-law had come over here for the memorial day weekend. They wanted to get their marriage certificate here. So, my hubby browsed for all the necessary documents to be taken and the location of the office that was close by. We drove there in the morning by 11 am. All four of us got inside the building after all the checking. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law were asked to fill up a form for the marriage license. I was keen in seeing the whole office so me and my husband started walking around the office. As I was walking around, I saw plenty of rooms numbered as court room 101 ans so on. I was wondering whether we could step inside. When I was telling my husband about this, he immediately asked a cop there whether we could enter one of the rooms.The cop, without any hesitation said yes. We went inside and I was astonished to see the same setting as I had seen in the movies. So, we just stepped in and sat on one of the last rows there. There were two cops standing inside and talking with them.My husband went on explaining me with the seating arrangements like where the juries sit, the judge and so on. Few minutes later, a judge, two lawyers and about eight juries came and took their seat. Everyone there got up as a sign of respect and we followed as it went on. It was total silence when en elderly man came over there.He took his seat in the front and he was questioned. It looked like he was a chemistry professor and was brought there to get some minute details regarding the drugs. There were two lawyers present , one for the plaintiff and the other for the defendant.One lawyer, who was supporting the plaintiff asked some questions to the elderly professor after which he left the place. We also saw a young guy sitting near the defendant lawyer. I had always thought that the defendant would be questioned directly. But then, I found the lawyers speaking one after the other both sides.The case was simple for us to understand .It was something related to drugs found in a car. Some sheets of paper were passed over to the juries and some time was given for them to read those .The case was then put up for after lunch and the team dispersed. we moved out discussing the casse and I was really happy for I had always wanted to see a case in reality.
