Courtroom Scenarios
Judicial Studies Board
Floating Harbour was commissioned by the Judicial Studies Board to produce a series of high-fidelity dramatised case studies and interview scenarios. These films serve as a vital training tool for legal professionals, designed to enhance the learning and procedural understanding of judges and legal practitioners.
Executed as large-scale productions on location in London courtrooms, the project involved coordinating over 15 actors and a full technical crew to ensure total authenticity. Notable segments, such as ‘The Youth Court,’ provide realistic dramatised cases that act as critical discussion points for trainee judges. Our expertise in professional training film production and complex location management ensured these courtroom scenarios meet the rigorous standards required for judicial education.
This film is part of our training and learning film work. See all the films we make.

I'm not actually ready yet, sir. I mean, this case is in a complete mess, thanks to the prosecution's failure to serve relevant evidence until this morning. My name's Julia Smith and I'm the chair of the panel today. On my right is District Judge Stewart and on my left is Mr John Warren, the independent member of the panel.
Mr Skol's faces one charge contrary to Section 7, Subsection 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 of assault of a child under the age of 13. My client is a man of impeccable character because the situation demands it. Take that, you stuck-up prick. He reached up under her short skirt and pinched her bottom.
Two weeks later, Loris was seen in Topshop with some other girls, putting a pair of trainers in her bag. Please, could you give us a specific example of a situation when your integrity was tested? He is a bloody hero, as far as I'm concerned. A new lot talking about banging him up for two years is a joke, a fucking bad one at that.
Well, we're a full-service law firm and we cover all aspects of insurance from cat PI, occupational health, motor, casualty. Motors, my particular specialty, fraud in particular. Another thing I didn't like about that candidate, when I went to shake her hand, she just walked off. Just come this way, please.
Bill, say something to him. I sentenced you to a four-month detention and training order. Things got worse and worse. I ended up receiving silent phone calls and then one day somebody rang the GP service.
The complainant, who is the defendant's wife, and her 12-year-old daughter had devised a code word. If Mrs. Lyons used the code word, her daughter knew the police were to be called. He's just sworn at me and threatened me.
You're clearly disqualified from hearing this case.
