Both law and popular culture pervade our lives.áMovies and television shape our perception of law and change how players in the legal system behave.áNow in its third edition, Law and Popular Culture: A Course Book explores the interface between these enormously important subjects.áJessica Silbey joins Michael Asimow as a co-author of the book.áEach chapter examines a particular law-related subject, such as the adversary system, the life of lawyers, legal education, or family law. Each chapter is structured around aálegally-themed film or television show, such as Philadelphia, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Lincoln Lawyer, or LA Law, treating each of them as both a cultural text and a legal text.The book is written in an engaging style without theoretical jargon and can serve as a basic text for undergraduate or graduate courses and seminars. It can be taught by anyone who enjoys pop culture and is interested in law.áAn instructorâÇÖs manual is available on request.
