Re: Team America. My boys (16 and 19) liked it, and the 16 year old wants to see it again with me. Re: lies. I am familiar with the research on lying - I think you get better at catching lies if you deal with liars daily and have some kind of feedback mechanism, something to gauge them against. I don't always know which clients are liars when they sign on, but I surely know when they are lying after I have represented them for a while. Judges get very good at it, too. I think locally the ones who sit on the General District Court bench, smaller civil cases where most don't have lawyers, and all the petty crimes, are far better at catching lies than in Circuit Court, because most people in Circuit have lawyers. But even in Circuit they seem to be better at telling when my clients are lying than I can. I usually give my clients the benefit of the doubt, but then, I am not paid to catch lies.
