Law at the Movies by Stanley Fish
Stanley Fish focuses on well-known movies (such as Anatomy of a Murder, Twelve Angry Men, or A Man for All Seasons) that take law as their subject, and explains how legal doctrine is made into the stuff of plot and character. A book for movie lovers written in an accessible and engaging style.
The book is a stimulating read* James Wilson, The Law Society Gazette *
