Yes they deserve to die, and I hope they burn in Hell!

Real: Lord Atkin's neighbour principle speech from Donoghue v Stevenson:

There must be, and is, some general conception of relations giving rise to a duty of care, of which the particular cases found in the books are but instances. ...The rule that you are to love your neighbour becomes in law you must not injure your neighbour; and the lawyer's question: Who is my neighbour? receives a restricted reply. You must take reasonable care to avoid acts or omissions which you can reasonably foresee would be likely to injure your neighbour. Who, then, in law, is my neighbour? The answer seems to be - persons who are so closely and directly affected by my act that I ought reasonably to have them in contemplation as being so affected when I am directing my mind to the acts or omissions that are called in question...

Though quite a few Lord Denning judgments/speeches are 'great' in the sense of absurdity at how he gives reasons one way but arrives at a completely different conclusion.

Liam Neesons little speech in Les Miserables.

Cant find it though.

A Few Good Men just absolutely kills everything in this thread. And I don't just mean Nicholson's speech. Only Sorkin could make everything in the Courtroom so goddamn compelling.

I will however add that Howard Hughes' courtroom scene in The Aviator was pretty fucking great.
