Interesting puzzle today, but I am not amused by the fact that they keep doing spangrams that could also just be the clue for the day instead of actually covering the full topic. Your Honor is just something that could be a clue or answer when it’s COURTROOM that seems like it should be the answer instead, given that it’s all stuff that happens inside the courtroom. But perhaps I’m just being pedantic.
