Honestly, putting aside the media thing, I just don't think many people want to understand the legal process at that specific level unless they've been involved in a lawsuit or are a member of a law-related field. There's just not a lot of reason why someone (outside of those in law-related employment and those involved in lawsuits) would want to know that much information.

It's the same thing, in my mind, as knowing about the legislative process. It's not a bad thing to know, but at the same time the public is very much results-oriented and doesn't care about or wants to ignore the process.

That's obviously painting things with broad brush strokes, so take it as you will...
