Also, this is kind of a law question, but since Norton told Gere immediately after the courtroom incident, would there be enough time for Gere to do anything regarding his sentencing?
He can't. Attorney client privilege. The only thing a lawyer can report is the prevention of a felony. This felony already happened. I'm pretty sure that's how it is, anyway.

The only thing that threw me off was Norton's character in the end. You're telling me this 19 year old kid can pull off a stutter and personality change well enough to fool a neurologist?
I think that's what made it more shocking, honestly. Of course these things never happen, but that's why it's a movie.

Ok thats kinda what i was thinking for his law duties. And yeah, the movie was really good. Like every time Norton switched to his "other personality" I was like "woah". Like idk it was really cool and scary at the same time

A lawyer legally can't directly lie to a judge or jury. If his client tells him something and he has to ask about it, and he was told otherwise, he can't make something up.
