{{Quote box |quote = World Rehearsal Court is a large-scale installation that draws on Radul’s research into the role of theatricality and new technologies in the court of law. Based on trial transcripts from International Criminal Tribunals, the exhibition presents a series of pre-recorded courtroom scenes, an evidence room, objects, and a series of computer-controlled live cameras that feed to an array of monitors that turns the gallery into a theatrical and cinematic space. |source = Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, [http://www.belkin.ubc.ca/online/worldrehearsalcourt] }}
The work serves as an example of Radul's long-running interest in art, technology and the law.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eurozine.com/articles/2007-05-02-radul-en.html|title=What was behind me now faces me: Performance, staging, and technology in the court of law|website=Eurozine|accessdate=March 8, 2015}}</ref> In explicitly identifying the performative aspects of the courtroom, the ''World Rehearsal Court'' questions the objective and immutable truth that the court process purports to uncover.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://worldrehearsalcourt.com/essays/trial-run|title=Judy Radul's World Rehearsal Court: Trial Run|website=World Rehearsal Court|accessdate=March 8, 2015}}</ref>
