A couple of weeks ago, in our discussion on language learning and film, I asked you if you could think of any interesting films about lawyers or the legal system. Here are a few suggestions to get you started. Please add others to the list that you think other students would find interesting.
MICHAEL CLAYTON (2007) (DIRECTOR TONY GILROY)
An excellent thriller starring George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson & Tilda Swinton set in a top level New York law firm.
THE VERDICT (1982) (DIRECTOR SIDNEY LUMET)
A superb courtroom drama featuring the late Paul Newman in one of his best roles.
...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL (1979) (DIRECTOR NORMAN JEWISON)
Al Pacino plays a criminal lawyer whose ethics are tested during a rape trial.
