 UCLA law professor Paul Bergman reads and signs Reel Justice: The Courtroom Goes to the Movies. From the infamous Scopes Monkey Trial, portrayed in Inherit the Wind, to the sensational war crimes trials that inspired Judgment at Nuremberg, celluloid trials have provided a compelling source of entertainment. Reel Justice goes behind the scenes of nearly 70 riveting courtroom movie dramas and comedies to demonstrate how directors make the legal system accessible to moviegoers. Bergman will show a few clips from films that Reel Justice discusses, and read brief excerpts relating to those movies. |
