LAW 8751F      Family Law & Film
An exploration of the function of family law and lawyers in society by examining legal decisions, statutes and legal commentaries in the context of films, including classic, contemporary mainstream, foreign, documentary and independent films. The seminar entails participants viewing a film followed by discussion. During the discussion session students will critique the film in light of assigned reading materials. Using films as analytical tools, the seminar examines the ways in which pop culture products (such as film and television) both reflect and change the social views about family law and lawyers. A pass/fail course.
