Attorney at Law Magazine interviewed Lou Shapiro about his role as legal consultant to Trial & Error, the NBC courtroom comedy starring John Lithgow as a defendant accused of killing his wife, which debuted March 7, 2017.
Mr. Shapiro described how the role came about through his community announcements at temple services, and explained his approach to the work: bringing the writers and cast to court to observe real hearings, and keeping the show’s procedure close enough to actual practice to hold up, while leaving room for the comedy to work.
