Our blog invites people to share stories about their experiences in court. Whether the experience is good, bad, or informative in some other way, we allow people to share their stories so that others can approach trial feeling better informed.

1. My Trial Blog

2.  The courtroom is an interesting place, and the events that occur within the
walls of courthouses can be victorious, heartbreaking, noteworthy, historic,
shocking, and so much more. Every experience is different and depending
on the perception of the case, the reaction to the verdict can change
dramatically.
 This is what makes the legal profession so heavy, so challenging, and so
exciting. People’s lives are on the line and justice is being fought for each
and every day. Movies and TV shows are made about the courtroom
because it’s so intriguing to watch trials play out. On this blog, you’ll hear
stories of trial, conviction, and whatever comes with it.
 Anyone who’s experienced trials in a courtroom may have a story told
here, but it’ll be up to the reader to interpret what each story means in the
bigger picture of the legal system. This is an anonymous page, and we
hope this will be exciting for you to read, because oftentimes, in court, you
don’t get a chance to see how people really feel about the situation in an
unfiltered way.

3. Why Different Perspectives Matter
 The purpose of My Trial Blog is to give the public a new perspective on
the courtroom—a perspective that only the people within the courtroom
would see. These blog posts will also give other members of the court a
new perspective as well, because, for example, the judge may never see
what it’s like to be in the jury’s shoes and vice versa.
 Empathy is derived from the ability to put one’s self in the shoes of
another. If we can all read these posts and learn something from the
stories told, justice may be served better in the future.

4. Real Lives, Real Stories
 There’s no guarantee that My Trial Blog will make an impact on what
happens inside the courthouse, but if it doesn’t, we still hope these
stories will provide value. We promise that we’ll always offer a platform
where those with real experiences can tell their stories and our audience
is invited to read about it.
 Unlike the entertainment world where you’re never quite sure what’s real
or fake, you can rest assured that the stories here are based on real trials
and the personal perspectives of those who have participated in them.
We hope My Trial Blog gives you insight into the legal process, and thank
you to all the brave people who have contributed to it.
