Legal Tourism in the 18th and 21st Centuries

The New York Times is reporting that the Casey Anthony trial is drawing tourists to Orlando this summer.  That makes me think of Sally Hadden and Patricia Minter's article in the February 2011 issue of Law and History Review, "A Legal Tourist Visits Eighteenth-Century Britain: Henry Marchant's Observations on British Courts, 1771 to 1772." (gated except to members of the American Society for Legal History). Rather different groups of tourists, I guess — but exciting to think that the spectators in Orlando are doing something that folks have been doing for a very long time.
