The course explores the manner in which law, the legal system and important legal issues are portrayed in film. Students will view classic films that have shaped public perceptions about law; they will critique the content of these films and review constitutional law cases related to the legal issues involved.
Despite its focus on Law, this course is an elective on the integrated MBA program.
