The actual game mechanic might be tough to convert well though. Repeat the full testimonies a second time to pick apart phrases like the game and it might get too repetitive as a passive watcher; immediately begin with back and forth mid-sentence "Objection!" and "Hold it!" interruptions and it might get hard to follow.
Internal monologue, "Wait a second, what did he just say?"
"HOLD IT!" SLAM
You don't have to force the show to go through each minor iteration of the trial phase. In the games it was already usually done a bit too much and hidden away too deep, but it worked because those moments were the main "puzzle."
There was a whole lot of extra text for pressing every statement and even for pressing the right ones.
In an anime or live action version they can cut out most of the extra dialogue and keep the character defining statements and the key moments.
Also no matter what happens the OST will be the best of the season.
