I saw the film on TV today and found it fascinating and shocking.
I agree with the opinion of the majority of the other reviewers that the cast was excellent.

"Liebowitz, without his knowing, may have helped lose the case himself. In a café, seeing a black girl waiting for a lunch to be handed to her to take out because she's not admitted into the café. Liebowitz strides over to her, hands her the paper bag, slams down the payment on the counter, and shouts, "What kind of people ARE you?" That's no way to endear yourself to the community from which the jurors are drawn."
This is not how the scene was in the version I saw.
In the version I saw, Liebowitz sees the girl waiting outside the door and the waitress takes a very, very long time to bother to deliver the paper bag to her outside the door and collect her payment. This illustrates how little regard the waitress has for a black child.
