Need a Break From Netflix? Watch Court Cases for Only $99 a Month
(Bloomberg) -- With captive audiences across locked-down America, an improbable player is jostling for attention among the big stay-at-home entertainment providers.
Courtroom View Network says that if you’re “sick of Netflix,” you can watch gavel-to-gavel broadcasts of real trials that played out in courtrooms last year -- for just $99 a month.
The subscription streaming service markets itself as a professional development tool for lawyers “to learn strategies from the best attorneys in precedent-setting trials.” But there’s no requirement that viewers hold a law degree -- just a major credit card.
The network says its most popular 2019 offerings include State of Oklahoma v. Johnson & Johnson, a seven-week trial over the opioid crisis; a Washington state case over a fatal collision between an “amphibious duck boat” and a bus; and the New York attorney general’s first-of-its-kind lawsuit accusing Exxon Mobil of duping investors about climate change.
