Reading & discussion of “Lawyers in Your Living Room! Law on Television” with Michael Asimow, Visiting Professor of Law
- This event has passed.
Join us for a talk by Michael Asimow, Visiting Professor of Law. Professor Asimow is the editor of Lawyers in Your Living Room! Law on Television.
From Perry Mason and The Defenders in the 1960s to L.A. Law in the 80s, The Practice and Ally McBeal in the 90s, to Boston Legal, Shark and Law & Order today, the television industry has generated an endless stream of dramatic series involving law and lawyers. The way lawyers are perceived has depended on how they are portrayed on television series and in the media. A new guide, Lawyers in Your Living Room! Law on Television examines television series from the past and present, domestic and foreign, that are devoted to the law.
This talk is part of the Robert Crown Law Library’s Reference Lounge Readings series.
Co-hosted by the Robert Crown Law Library and Stanford Entertainment and Sports Law Association (SESLA).
Refreshments provided. Feel free to bring a brown bag lunch.
