Course Description:
It is perhaps banal to observe that popular culture distorts and misrepresents law and legal practice. However, how, why, and to what end popular culture distorts law remain provocative questions. Furthermore, in a democracy, where citizens make demands on law, popular culture can not only shape perceptions but can influence expectations and demands made on law by citizens. Movies will serve as our primary popular culture texts as we investigate how popular culture presents law, lawyers, legal practice, courts, violence, and justice. |
