Begin by viewing the filmThe Verdict. The film is from 1982, so some of the cultural context is outdated (e.g., pay phones were the way to go since no one had a cell phone).

For that reason,The Verdictcontinues to be viewed as one of the best courtroom dramas on film. [Fun fact: Actor Paul Newman (yes, he's also "the salad dressing guy") was nominated for an Oscar for his performance, but lost to Ben Kingley in “Ghandi.”]

The film is available on STARZ or on Amazon Prime Video or Hulu with a STARZ subscription. If you don’t subscribe to STARZ currently, for a limited time, you can sign-up for a 7-day free trial. Alternatively, you may rentThe Verdicton Amazon Prime Video for a one-time charge of $3.99.
