Not a newsroom, not yet a team. One standard, applied to real legal stories.
Law student, international focus. Legal decisions shape everyone's life, but almost nothing written about them is meant for people outside the profession.
Courtroom explains what rulings actually mean, for anyone who wants the tools to understand rather than be told what to think.
Not every story fits the same shape. Courtroom works in four registers, depending on what the question needs.
The same legal question, answered differently in a few countries. Where the contrast itself is the story.
One ruling, taken apart in full. What the court actually decided, and why it matters beyond the courtroom.
How a piece of the system actually works. Not a single case, but the mechanism behind it.
Returning to a story already covered, to show what happened next.
I'm not trying to convince you what's right. I'm trying to show what actually happens. What you do with that is yours.
The standard every story is held to.
Rulings and statutes themselves, not summaries about them.
Everything else, in our own words.
Court, case number, date, every time.
What legal systems do, not which one is right.
