Last but not Least: Prof. Conde Questions

  1. Try to find some significant examples of the different textual approches to ‘law and film’ and analyse their various purposes and consequences: the instituzionalization of a new interdisciplinary scholarship, the usefulness of films as a pedagogical tool (within the American Law Schools), or the so-called ‘postmodern challenge’ (Richard Sherwin, When Law goes Pop, University of Chicago Press, 2000).
  2. Try to find some juridical debate raised by the distribution of an entertainment product (movies, computer games, TV shows, songs) and constitutional and legal restraints to freedom of speech (as we did with The Miracle decision).
