LS 340 - Law and Film
Prerequisites: None
In this course we will examine the ways in which our civil and criminal justice systems are portrayed in film and whether those portrayals are helpful in “educating” the public about the police, the courts, the legal profession, and the correctional system. We will discuss a number of related themes such as concepts of “justice” as depicted in popular culture, the role of lawyers, judges and juries in the criminal justice system, the portrayal of women in the law, and films that depict the law as a vehicle for social change.
