Can someone elucidate how these trials have access to internal email exchanges?

  It's called Discovery. When a company gets sued, the first thing the opposing counsel does is request they provide all communications relevant to the case. Judges tend to frown on non-compliance with such requests (e.g. shredding papers, deleting emails, and other such similar shenanigans) and tend to send people to jail or declare judgements against the offending party. This is one of the reasons why you should be careful about the emails you send using company systems. You may one day have to read it in front of a jury.

    tend to frown on non-compliance As in Arthur Anderson no longer exists because someone shredded documents that were under discovery.
