Drawing on information used from the textbook students will pick 1 movie (from the list provided in Files on Canvas) to analyze and write a reflection paper that offers a synopsis of the case or controversy, an analysis of the legal provisions upon which the case is based, and a critique of the movie which identifies the myths and realities of the case discussed and/or legal system more broadly. Papers should be between 750-1200 words, utilize a major citation system (e.g., ALA, MLA, Chicago), and be single-spaced, 12pt font, Times New Roman.
