The Drama of the Courtroom

Autor Kathy Laster, Krista Breckweg, John King
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2000
This innovative teaching resource lists films with significant courtroom scenes, illustrating the dramatic and tactical aspects of adversarial practice, including the demonstration of evidentiary rules in practice. The structure of the filmography is divided into two parts: the subject index followed by the synopses of films (see samples below) and subdivided by jurisdiction. The book encourages debate and discussion about the uses and role of law and its assumptions, its techniques of fact-finding and mechanisms for establishing truth. Covers civil and criminal law with a range of cases, from AIDS (Philadelphia) to war (Judgement at Nuremberg, QB VII), using films from the US, Great Britain, Australia and other countries.

Recenzii

The Drama of the Courtroom is a filmography - a compendium of films in which courtroom scenes are integral to the plot. Titles are listed by subject matter and jurisdiction. An abstract of the plot, legal lesson, running time and counter numbers (laser disc and time mode) is included . . . It is a useful tool for educators who find value in popular culture. . . . To the wider community, law provides a plethora of dramatic episodes. The human quest for 'justice' and the various interpretations thereof, create student expectations that law is dramatic. Courtroom films provide the main source of community knowledge of the law in practice but in many cases they do not represent 'real law' - how should this distinction be explained in the classroom if at all? Laster's opinion is that 'the popularity of the film courtroom is an intriguing social phenomenon which demands better explanation.' The first section of this filmography explores the pedagogical applications of the courtroom. The thesis is that regardless of jurisdictional boundary, popular depictions of the law in practice can provide a valuable resource that promotes student learning. For those educators who abhor the popular culture courtroom, this book is not for you. For educators who ascribe to the author's thesis, this is a must. Proctor (Queensland Law Society), 2001
