by David A. Schultz (Other), Michael Asimow (Author), Shannon Mader (Author)

Now in its second edition, Law and Popular Culture: A Course Book takes a particular legally themed film or television show, such as Philadelphia, Dead Man Walking, or Law and Order, treating it as both a cultural text and a legal text.
The new edition has been updated with new photos and includes greater emphasis on television than in the first edition because there are so many DVDs of older TV shows now available.
