Inherit the Wind - full script
This site regularly receives enquiries from people looking for a free and/or online copy of the script of the play Inherit the Wind. And the answer is - there is no such thing (or if there is, it's illegal).
According to my copy of the script the copyright was last revised as recently as 2000, which means that the only way to get a copy is to borrow it from a library, or someone who owns a copy, or buy it (Amazon usually have it in stock as well as several cut-price copies from third party sources).
The play script is published by Dramatists Play Service, Inc. ISBN 0-8222-0570-X, and by
Ballantine Books, ISBN 0345466276.
The two versions are not identical in content or layout, and whilst the Ballantine edition is probably easier to read, it seems to have a few omissions compared with the Dramatists Play Service version. It should also be noted that the play has been through two or three revisions and a number of copyright renewals since 1951. It is therefore unclear how closely the current editions resemble the original.

Inherit the Wind - film script (1960)/b>
This is not the final version of the script and differs, to a certain, non-critical, extent when compared with the actual film. That is to say, there are scene directions and snippets of dialogue that are in the script but not in the film, and maybe half a dozen places where short scenes have been added, or are in the script but in a different order.
Inherit the Wind - TV Movie (1988)
It isn't clear whether the script is the draft version or the final version as it appeared on TV.
The film and TV movie scripts are both available from:

Re: need a courtroom scene from a movie...

Maybe I Am Sam. I think there are scenes of Sean Penn's character testifying.

The film gets mixed reviews as to real-world lawyering. But here's one good review about what the film says about the the fairness of the legal system.
