I like "A Few Good Men", "My Cousin, Binny", and "To Kill a Mockingbird".
Do you know any other good court movies?

The Accused (with Jody Foster)
To Kill a Mockingbird
Fracture
Primal Fear
Sergeant Rutledge
The Jagged Edge
Anatomy of a Murder
A Civil Action
The Parradine Case
High Wind to Jamaica
A Place in the Sun
Helter Skelter (TV miniseries about Manson Family trial)
Suspect
Criminal Law
The Caine Mutiny
Knock on Any Door
Inherit the Wind (the original)
How to Murder Your Wife (comedic)
Miracle on 34th Street
...And Justice for All
Judgment at Nuremberg
QB VII (TV miniseries)~Much of the second part takes place in a British courtroom.
The Andersonville Trial~TV movie about Civil War prison atrocities
The Young Philadelphians
Presumed Innocent
Fury (with Spencer Tracy)
Mesmerized
Erin Brockovich
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Audrey Rose
A Soldier's Story
A Time to Kill
Witness for the Prosecution
The Sweet Hereafter
Some of these have more courtroom time than others. Probably, you can read about them in Wikipedia, which generally has lengthier summaries.
Vin Diesel has an amazing one, but it's full of a lot of really rough language. "Find Me Guilty" takes place mainly in the courtroom.
Review:
A drama based on the longest Mafia trial in U.S. history, mobster Jack DiNorscio (Diesel), faced with a series of charges, decides to stand trial instead of ratting out his family and associates. A wrench is thrown into the system when DiNorscio opts to defend himself.

Inherit the Wind is a classic court-case movie. It's about whether or not it was ok to teach evolution in the public schools. Twelve Angry Men is one of my favorite dramas. This movie is more about the jury than a case or the legal system. The old b&w one is the best, but the newer one is alright. Witness for the Prosecution is another really good courtroom drama. It's also an older b&w movie. Give these older movies a chance--even if you don't really care for them they're still worth watching!

The Rainmaker starring Matt Damon. The Firm starring Tom Cruise. And Justice For All starring Al Paccino.
All movies I recommend.
