As you scan the courtroom, your patented "sincere, competent and friendly" smile expertly cemented on your face, you notice for the first time just how many people are watching this completely unremarkable premises liability case. Even more surprising, they actually seem to be paying attention. Who are they? They don't look like folks on a day pass from the state hospital next door.
