About this course:

Real trials and courtroom movies are made for each other. Lawyers are storytellers, courtrooms are theaters and trials can provide drama, surprise, suspense, laughs- and sometimes truth. Anthropologists use cultural residue like pottery and cave drawings to tell stories about how past societies functioned and what people believed.  In this course, we view entertaining movie clips that tell stories about our society’s cultural beliefs and attitudes towards law, lawyers and justice. This course uses the Hybrid format which allows students to participate remotely and/or in the classroom.This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
