Legal Studies 297TV - ST-Law in Film & TV

This class examines popular television and film?s depictions of the law and the legal profession. We take a rigorously critical approach to film and television as examples of cultural production. Therefore, we study these media for what they say about social identity, representation and deployment of law and power in U.S. society.

This course is open to Senior, Junior, and Sophomore Legal Studies majors only. Pre Req: LEGAL 250 Instructor can be reached at: vjoseph@anthro.umass.edu
