This textbook by Asimow (emeritus, U. of California at Los Angeles School of Law) and Mader (a former film professor at Loyola Marymount U.) was developed out of a University of California seminar in law and popular culture. Each of the 14 chapters offers a study of a particular film or television show, exploring both aesthetic and legal questions raised. For instance; the film To Kill A Mockingbird is used to explore the lawyer as melodramatic hero, connections between the films portrayal of events and the real-life lynching of the Scottsboro boys, the trial strategy of main character Atticus Finch, and other issues; while Kramer vs. Kramer is used to discuss the cultural context of the film in terms of divorce and the feminist movement, legal doctrines of family law, and lawyer- client relationships in family law.
