Great educational tool.
ReplyDeleteI use portions of this movie to highlight law office management. I asked my students to suppose they were the paralegal to the managing partner of the firm. Their task was to prepare a memo that discussed ways in which the firm could run more efficiently.
ReplyDeleteI have students prepare legal documents, such as a complaint, notice to produce, a list of deposition questions and legal services contract, based on the facts of the movie.
ReplyDeletenowadays we would always use eco-friendly stuffs like, eco friendly foods, shoes and bags~ law tutoring
