This lecture will deal with how in many crucial works of the cinema fundamental legal and jurisprudential themes are explored, How the cinema can be a galvanising force for legal education and indeed civic education and how crucial cinematic works can be interpreted to make fundamental points about the relationship between law and justice, law and morality, truth and fact finding.
The films I will be utilising are:
- Twelve angry men
- Inherit the wind
- Schindlers list
and an exploration of the philosopher Zizek
