The most recent issue of the Canadian Law Library Review [1] has a nice article by American attorney Sonia J Buck [2] titled “Movie Therapy for Law Students (and Their Instructors).”
Consistent with my views, the author advocates the use of law-related movies in teaching the law to students. She draws on several movies for specific purposes (e.g., Adam’s Rib [3] and Suspect [4] for ethics, evidence and criminal law), North Country [5] for employment law, and Flash of Genius [6] for IP Law).
In hindsight, I was embarrassed to not have included the obvious choice of Flash of Genius [6] for my law-related movies website [7], so I have updated my site to include that movie (along with Hart’s War [8], a military court martial movie), bringing the total number of law-related movies on my site to 118 movies.
I have also added reference to her book Movie Therapy for Law Students (and Pre-Law, Paralegal, and Related Majors [9]) (Bloomington, IN: Authorhouse, 2009), along with some other books about law-related movies she cites in the article.
