Hey, fellow law students! We all know the drill: casebooks, statutes, legal journals... It can be a bit much sometimes, right? 🤯

So, let's take a break from the usual legal reading list and explore the world of law through a different lens – pop culture! 🍿 🎧 📺

Whether it's a gripping courtroom drama, a thought-provoking documentary, or a captivating podcast, there are tons of law-related gems out there that can offer fresh perspectives, spark critical thinking, and even provide some much-needed entertainment.

I'm curious, what are your favorite law-related movies, TV shows, documentaries, podcasts, or even fiction books?

To get us started, here are a few of my recommendations:

  • Movies: "12 Angry Men," "To Kill a Mockingbird," "The Verdict," "My Cousin Vinny" (for a good laugh!)
  • TV Shows: "Law & Order" (any and all iterations!), "The Good Wife," "Suits," "Better Call Saul"
  • Documentaries: "Making a Murderer," "The Staircase," "RBG," "O.J.: Made in America"
  • Podcasts: "Serial," "More Perfect," "Court Junkie," "The Lawfare Podcast"
  • Fiction Books: "To Kill a Mockingbird" (again!), "The Firm" by John Grisham, "The Lincoln Lawyer" by Michael Connelly
