You can watch Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) for free on Hoopla.

In 1947, four German judges who served on the bench during the Nazi regime face a military tribunal to answer charges of crimes against humanity. Chief Justice Haywood hears evidence and testimony not only from lead defendant Ernst Janning and his defense attorney Hans Rolfe, but also from the widow of a Nazi general, an idealistic U.S. Army captain and reluctant witness Irene Wallner.

This courtroom epic shifts the focus from the soldiers who pulled the triggers to the legal minds who provided the veneer of legitimacy for mass murder. It demands you confront how easily a civilized judicial system can be weaponized to justify the unthinkable.
