You might want to locate the tapes or transcripts of the trials Supreme Court Justice Kennedy (I think) does on PBS or CNN with some big group of lawyers in New York every year or so. They hold a mock trial of Hamlet to determine this very question. The lawyers read the text and call expert witnesses just as they would in a real trial. It's really interesting to see the process work, especially using such an interesting character. Sorry I can't be more explicit about the source than just PBS or CNN. Maybe someone else out there knows more.
