I first saw "From the Hip" in the theater (Movie World, Douglaston, NY) I've seen it quite a few times since. I like to watch it every few years even though it's not very good. It's a mostly obnoxious watch. Judd Nelson is completely over-the-top. He's pretty annoying most of the movie (although he does have a nice moment here and there). The supporting cast is strong but many of them deliver sub-par performances. When it comes to ridiculous, heavy-handed courtroom dramedies; "From the Hip" comes in a close second to "...And Justice for All" (which isn't very good either). Those two movie would make a good double feature.
