A legal thriller, on the other hand, usually reveals who did it at the beginning or makes it clear that it`s not so important who did it, but whether they get caught. The plot focuses on whether justice will prevail. Thrillers, by definition, do not have the category of mystery. When you read a thriller, expect it to excite you. When you read a detective novel, you expect to be confused and then seriously surprised. (my free translation). A legal drama or courtroom drama is a genre in film and television that typically focuses on narratives about legal practice and the judicial system. The American Film Institute (AFI) defines “legal drama” as a film genre in which a judicial system plays a central role in the narrative of the film or television series. [1] Legal dramas also follow the lives of lawyers, plaintiffs or other fictional characters involved in the practice of law in television shows or movies. Legal drama is different from crime drama or detective novels, which usually focus on police officers or detectives investigating and solving crimes. Legal dramas most often focus on events that occur in a courtroom, but can also include any stage of a trial, such as jury deliberations or working in law firms. As a genre, the term “legal drama” is usually applied to television shows and movies, while legal thrillers generally refer to novels and plays.

En mi reseña de Con los ojos cerrados de Gianrico Carofiglio escribí: El libro está considerado en ocasiones como un thriller legal, aunque me inclino a pensar que se puede describir mejor como un drama judicial. With their high stakes and explorations of right and wrong, right and wrong, and the gray areas in between, it`s no wonder that legal dramas have been a staple of television virtually since the beginning of the medium, or that some are among the longest-running TV shows of all time. I think you are more right than the definition you found, José Ignacio! Unlike Sarah, I really like legal detective novels and have read a lot of them, including Carofiglio. I would say that a court drama is a drama that relies on a court case to solve the mystery – Scott Thurow, for example. Legal thrillers are embodied by some of John Grisham`s (and other similar American authors such as Philip Margolin) in which the main characters are lawyers and the plot involves legal issues, but events often culminate outside the courtroom where the protagonist discovers something, such as some kind of conspiracy. But everyone can find their own definition, there is no “right”, I`m sure! So, whatever works for you. (Personally, I wouldn`t call any of Carofiglio`s books a “thriller.”) That is why I should have said it the other way around.
Gianrico Carofiglio`s A Walk in the Dark can be described more as a legal thriller than a legal drama. En consecuencia yo debería haber indicado lo contrario. Con los ojos cerrados de Gianrico Carofiglio se puede describir mejor como thriller legal en lugar de drama judicial. A legal thriller, on the other hand, usually reveals the whodunit at the beginning or makes it clear that it doesn`t matter if he or she gets caught. The next plot focuses on whether justice should prevail or not. Thrillers, by definition, have no mysterious qualities. When you read a thriller, expect to be thrilled. When you read a detective novel, you expect to be confused and pleasantly surprised. In “The Case of the Lucky Loser” (season 2, episode 2), Mason is hired to help a wealthy heir accused of death. When the client is accused twice of the same crime, Mason fights even harder to dig up evidence, making a shocking revelation in court in a classic “Perry Mason moment.” Culmination of the legal drama: In “Lahey v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania” (season 4, episode 13), the series has a crossover with Rhimes` hit political drama Scandal, which reunites Davis and Kerry Washington on screen as they collaborate on a class action lawsuit over the mass incarceration of black Americans.
Cicely Tyson completes the cast as Keating`s mother. También hay una buena dosis de crimen y drama de tribunales, ya que son abogados penalistas. Arana`s character has had her own legal problems in the past and her direct experience of being on the other side of the law has a huge impact on how her character enforces the law on behalf of her clients. The relationship between the character of Arana and the one played by Siciliani is another important element of the plot. Watching TV is great to help you improve your language skills and learn more about the culture, so be sure to check out “Farsantes” when you attend Spanish school in Argentina. Most crime novels focus on criminal investigations conducted by law enforcement officers (in the form of a police show or police procedure) and do not often extend to everything that happens in a courtroom. In such works, where the courtroom drama lasts only one episode or only a few episodes, it is a courtroom episode.

There are subtle (and actually not so subtle) differences between the two types of stories. I`ve also read legal thrillers in which, at least initially, we don`t know who is guilty. I call this type of novel a legal thriller (as opposed to a court drama) when most of the story doesn`t take place in the courtroom. For example, I`ve read novels where the focus is on a lawyer looking for evidence, and the novel focuses on that and not the courtroom.
Sometimes, as I said, the differences between the two are very subtle. “Farsantes” is an ambientado legal drama in a bufete de abogados de Buenos Aires. Es transmitido durante el tiempo de mayor audiencia, el cual antes estaba ocupado por una telenovela que llegó a su fin. Originalmente se planeó “Farsantes” para ser una miniserie. Sin embargo, el concepto pronto se expandió a una serie de televisión regular debido a la popularidad del programa entre los espectadores. El reparto incluye actores muy conocidos y exitosos, como Facundo Arana y Griselda Siciliani, así como una serie de actores actuales y futuros que seguramente se beneficiarán del éxito de la serie. The flagship series of Dick Wolf`s Law & Order empire is a cornerstone of the legal drama canon. His predictable two-act approach, headline-grabbed cases, dry humor and top-notch acting have made him a longtime audience favorite. There are also many crimes and judicial dramas because they involve criminal defense lawyers.
Arana`s character has had her own legal problems in the past, and her direct experience of being on the wrong side of the law is a significant influence on how her character approaches the law on behalf of her clients.
