Changes: Court is Now in Session

Revision as of 04:34, 15 February 2021

"Court is Now in Session" (開廷), also known as "Court Begins", is a title for several pieces of background music in the Ace Attorney series. These tracks normally play during the beginning of a trial before any witness testimony is given and could be considered the leitmotifs of the judge.

Translation history

The "Court Begins" name originated as an unofficial fanmade translation. Starting with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies, a trial intro scene was introduced, with the word 開廷 kaitei – the title of the trial theme – included. The English localization changed this graphic to read, "Court Is Now In Session / All Rise". The following year, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was released outside of Japan, and used the "Court Begins" translation for its in-game soundtrack, found among the Bonuses accessible from a completed save file. The Steam release of Gyakuten Saiban Sound BOX in 2019 used the "Court is Now in Session" translation.
