A mystery solved. The illustrations of the Bermuda Supreme Court below were not identified with any hearing details, only the lawyer names.  Quite by happenstance, the World Trade Art Gallery ( where the courtroom art show is on display) owner knew a lawyer who was able to track down the information based on just some key details. Story in the link above
and artwork below. All artwork was drawn for NBC Nightly News in 1986.
