Hollywood has taught us much about the law, and because of that, I'd like you to have an opportunity to see a movie and report on it. You can choose from any of the following, that the ABA (American Bar Association) has listed as their Top 25 about the law. If you want to choose a different one, that is ok, but it must be about the law. To earn extra credit, watch the movie, and then do the following:

1) Give me the name of the movie, when made, the primary stars, and a brief summary of the plot and outcome;

2) Tell me something that you saw in the movie that connected in some way to our Business Law class - it could be about trials, evidence, burden of proof, Constitutional rights or anything, or else tell me there was just nothing there.

3) Tell me something you learned about the law in the film.

4) Tell me if you would recommend that I watch the film, how many stars you give it (5 the highest, 0 the lowest) and why.

List:

Lincoln (A great film about the challenges of the 13 th Amendment)

The Paper Chase (about Harvard Law students)

A Time to Kill (Defending a man accused of killing his daughter's rapists- great trial scenes)
