The 'Arcane Procedures' series by M.L. Rio (not that M.L. Rio) is a book series that fits. Young lawyers at a firm that handles 'reality adjustment' cases—clients who want to sue for damages caused by glitches in perceived reality. The drama comes from proving the glitch existed and assigning blame. It’s a wild premise that allows for endless psychological exploration within a rigid legal framework. The author clearly has a background in both law and philosophy.
The most terrifying example for me is real-life. Watching documentaries about wrongful convictions based on false confessions. The psychological thriller is the interrogation room, not the courtroom, but the courtroom drama is the tragic finale. Any fictional series trying to do this blend has to capture that real, horrifying malleability of human memory under pressure to be truly great.
My favorite hidden gem is a light novel series, 'I, the Jury.' The protagonist is summoned for jury duty in a case where the defendant is accused of murder via a telepathic curse. The entire trial becomes a debate on the admissibility of psychic evidence, the nature of intent, and whether thought can be a weapon. It’s a weird, heady mix of logic puzzles and existential dread, with the jury room as the main setting.
Not sure if this counts, but the video game 'Aviary Attorney' is a real thing, and its later chapters go to some profoundly dark, meta-psychological places. You play as a bird lawyer in 1840s Paris. It starts silly, but the cases start to intertwine with the protagonist's deteriorating mental state and questions about the nature of justice in a absurd world. The twists aren't just plot-related; they change how you interact with the game's logic.
Check out the manhwa 'Jury of One.' The premise is that in a near-future society, certain high-profile trials use a single, psychologically augmented 'arbiter' instead of a jury. The series follows one such arbiter who begins to suspect her own enhancements are being tampered with by outside forces. The tension comes from isolating legal decision-making inside one fragile, manipulated mind. The art has this claustrophobic, panel-heavy style that mirrors procedural confinement.

You might find what you're looking for in Korean dramas. 'While You Were Sleeping' is a fantasy-tinged option where a prosecutor, a journalist, and a police officer see future events in dreams to prevent crimes.
The police investigation and legal proceedings are tightly connected through their shared visions. It's less a strict procedural and more a serialized mystery with a strong romantic subplot, but the blend of catching criminals and building court cases is central to the plot. It's a fun, bingeable twist on the genre.
‘The Searcher’ by Tana French is a quiet, atmospheric take. A retired Chicago cop moves to rural Ireland and gets pulled into a local boy’s request to find his missing brother. The investigation is slow, community-based. The mind games are subtle—navigating local loyalties, secrets, and his own changing morality. The psychological tension is in the erosion of his outsider neutrality and the ethical cost of finding the truth.
