Movies not only amuse and excite, but also educate and inform. This blog is a forum for commentary on the educational use of law related films. You are invited to comment on the movies posted by clicking on the film of your choice and adding your comment in the window below it. Feel free to discuss use of the movies in your classroom as well as assignments you've developed for them. The blog also welcomes comments on additional areas of law and legal themes you feel the movies portray.
I use this film in my basic legal principles class. It breaks down pretty neatly into 4 segments of roughly 20 minutes each. Beginning through trial, Appeal through grant of cert, Supreme Court case, and Retrial.
