Trying cases in the court of public opinion refers to using the media to influence public support for one side or the other in a court case. This can result in persons outside the justice system taking action for or against a party. For instance, the reputation of a party may be greatly damaged even if they win the case. Lawyer Robert S. Bennett noted that when he represents high-profile clients, he sometimes finds them in a (figurative) Bermuda triangle of cross-currents generated by a criminal investigation, the news media, and the U.S. Congress. It has been noted that there is no Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in the court of public opinion.
