Spirit of Justice was actually so much better than Dual Destinies on almost every level. For one, half the cases aren't boring as fuck this time. There are actually some interesting mysteries and fun characters in this one, and the new Insight mechanic is pretty neat.

The overarching story is where this game really shines though. The premise sounds stupid at first; Phoenix travels to a country where lawyers are literally illegal, but somehow they managed to make it interesting. The Kingdom of Khura'in is pretty well fleshed out, and the trials that take place there are differentiated by the Seances that show the victim's last memories before they died. Above all else, SoJ finally gives REAL development to Apollo, something DD seriously failed to deliver on.

Overall, maybe not the best game in the series, but surprisingly pretty good. One of the more plot heavy and unique entries for sure.
