I liked And Justice For All with Al Pacino in the leading role. It isn't as good as The Verdict, but has a great performance by Pacino. He was definitely better in the 70s than in his recent movies. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

"A Civil Action" with John Travolta
This is a civil trial (obviously), not criminal.
Who is John Galt?:

Inherit the Wind
is perhaps my favorite in this genre. The first time I saw it (in high school) I was surprised to find out there were court cases even in the 1920s about "creationism" versus the theory of evolution. (It was also based on actual events: the so-called "Scopes Monkey Trial.") It has a fine cast: Dick York (yes, Darren from
Bewitched
!) as the defendant, Spencer Tracy as the defense attorney, and Fredric March as the prosecutor. The two attorneys are nationally famous with egos to match, and it makes for some thrilling courtroom battles. Superb film.
