Due to its involvement in the resolution of crimes and conflicts, which are an intricate part of drama, the U.S. judicial system is often portrayed in American literature and films. Several Hollywood films such as A Few Good Men (1992) and Runaway Jury (2003) are set around its courts. ==References==
