How I Learned to Litigate at the Movies
Over the summer, the American Bar Association polled its members and then published in the ABA Journal a list of the twenty-five greatest legal movies of all time, and another twenty-five honorable mentions. The publication also included an article entitled, "How I Learned to Litigate at the Movies."
Someone asked me today about those articles. I once had the PDF's, but at some point I lost track of them (maybe on one of the six dozen flash drives cluttering my apartment after OCIP?) but happily they are posted at the ABA website. The format at the website leaves something to be desired but, hey, they're lawyers.
Perhaps if you seek a diversion this weekend, the links above can offer a starting point. Alternatively, if you are a 1L who can't bear the thought of a relaxing evening, you can study the Verdict for misstatements of basic Civil Procedure. Either way, have a safe, warm, and happy holiday.

Shameless plug -- the Law Library has begun a Law in movies DVD collection that includes most of these (and many more). Check out the list at http://www.law.berkeley.edu/library/dynamic/dvds.php
