Well... we do have Turnabout Storm... though that's a crossover and fanfiction.
Anyway, in the spirit of the author's note: story time:
Any games that went off genre (like, you know, a fantasy game becoming a courtroom drama).

The cleric was arrested for crimes she had committed in her past as a bandit. It shortcut a lot of the court drama when she confessed and threw herself on the queen's mercy. The queen let her off with a flogging, and they went on to be good friends, which was equal parts weird and touching. :p
Ooh, I think I actually have one for once! Although, I may have told it under a different name already. Basically, I had a NE Aasimar Illusionist at level two or so, and we were going to fight some troglydytes. I was the only evil character in the party, but the CN rogue's actions could go into evil territory sometimes. Anyway, it turned out that the troglydytes were working with the dwarves that had hired us, and we ended up fighting both at the same time. I was playing 4e (the Aasimar was homebrew) so I continuously used ghost sound to message the leader and tell them I wanted in on their moneymaking scheme. Party manages to tie me up and drag me out to trial once they relize I'm not using my minor action every turn (I worked out the exact details of the negotiations with the DM beforehand so we wouldn't be passing notes during combat). At the trial, I roll really well on my bluff checks to get the Magistrate to believe me (although having discovered Pheonix Wright recently certainly helped). Magistrate throws the party in jail besides me. Unfortunately, due to a bunch of other circumstances, I didn't get to continue that campaign. I'll save that for another story time though, because it was more the DM screwing up a bunch of stuff then anything else and not really related to this.
By the way for anyone who thinks I'm 'that guy' here, we all stayed friends afterwords, and there were no hard feelings. People knew that this might happen when we started the campaign.

...then Cozy Glow's mother walks in to say "Why can't you play nice with your little friends?"
"No! Anything but that! Anything but that! Take me to jail! Put me in tartarus fir all I care! Just don't make me listen to my mother scolding me!"
Stories where you captured the bad guy instead of, well, offing them.
I play a former cop in Hell's Rebels, so while I'm not super hung up on it, I do like to capture bad guys and turn them in to the proper authorities when it's feasible to do so. Especially when it helps the party's reputation or there might be information to be gained after the fight. We've taken down a gang leader, a serial killer and a would-be assassin that way.
Well -- Pinkie does come from a family of rock farmers so...
Pinkie (Stone)Mason

ngl it left me pretty messed up. Very glad I watched it with my girlfriend instead of solo
No, no no. The real low-hanging fruit there would have been a Night Court spoof.
Aaaand now, we need somebody who can make fancomics do this crossover spoof for this.
"Ooo-kay."
Let's see...
Applejack as Roz. Might as well get Granny Smith involved as Selma, though we don't really need that many baliffs.
The real question is who we get to play the Wheelers...
Damn, now I wanna see the Wheelers as ponies.
"That filly is wearing a potato sack." "I know. They always look awful without a belt."

In my game, Celestia herself is charged with several crimes and is due to appear in court.
A few of her charges are legit (and one she even admitted to), but most of them are trumped up by Neighsay. He's trying to get Celestia off the throne and get someone on it that he can more easily manipulate.

...Celestia's an absolute monarch (well, diarch, as she shares with Luna), not an elected official. She can't be removed from power by a trial.
Like, if she does too many attrocities people would rebel, but if told in a in a court of law "you are accused of X" then she could say "no, I am not" and it would be true.

It's a roleplaying game. You're allowed to fudge government.
True but that usually involve the PCs fighting whoever is in charge, by growing hierarchical ranks
The DM made Equestrian's government different than the show, and can remove her from power if found guilty.
The only justice we've seen is summary judgment by the princesses. Or by a mob of torch-wielding ponies moderated by the sheriff.
Loving the Diamond Dogs callback.
And also the fact that each of the six panels includes commentary by a different one of the Mane Six.

I'm actually not convinced that Equestria has laws at all. Justice seems to be handled by local authority figures or the Princesses, according to a sense of restorative justice and fairness, rather than a written code.
Should have the last scene being Cozy Glow saying, "And I would have gotten away with it to, if it weren't for you nosy kids!"
They're all older than her, though.
At least, it looks like that. She's much *smaller* than all the other students.

Can't say I especially craved such a thing, but I'm mildly surprised that the low-hanging opportunity to have Pinkie Pie act as an insane attorney that somehow still wins the case wasn't taken. Probably for the best, but still.
