LAW & FILM - Winter 2025

LAWF 3780 is a Selected Topics course worth 3 credits. Its Academic Calendar description (on page 322) notes that ‘students focus on a variety of subject areas, either doctrinal or theoretical.’ More specifically, students will explore law and/in film by:

• analysing and assessing a number of genres (eg, courtroom dramas, detective films, police procedurals, prison films, and westerns)
• considering how films represent, or often misrepresent, law, including legal actors, ideas, and institutions
• exploring cinema as a cultural artefact and an entrée into wider social issues (eg, law and justice, truth, class, race, gender, and social change)
