Now revised the tag excerpt proposal for "courtroom drama" to describe it in my own words as follows:
A courtroom drama or legal drama is a work of fiction giving prominence to the legal process and usually if not always featuring a courtroom trial or civil litigation as the major event. Lawyers and judges are often important characters. In addition, some great works of literature in various languages that are not all about a court case alone, have featured the legal process as an integral plot element.
