player takes on the role of a trial lawyer, investigating crime scenes and<br>
developing lines of questioning aimed at tricking witnesses into<br>
confessing to murders (somewhat on the order "Matlock" in the U.S., albeit<br>
with a different target demogrphic)--has become internationally popular in<br>
recent years. It's objective is more to reimagine the dating-sim genre<br>
for mainstream consumption than to represent the Japanese legal system,<br>
but it might be interesting to investigate whether it has stimulated<br>
interest in other representations of the Japanese litigation process.<br>
