The AALS 2012 Annual Meeting will introduce the Law and Film Series, featuring films on legal topics, chosen for their cinematic and legal value, identifying film resources for possible classroom instructional purposes, as well as raising general awareness for law and film appreciation purposes. We hope that this Film Series will enhance the Annual Meeting experience for attendees.

There will be brief discussions and commentary in connection with the films. Instructional materials will be made available.
