A Brief List of "Lawyer Movies"

Hello! It’s a been quite a while since my last post, and quite a while since I’ve been consistent with posts despite always saying things will get back to normal soon. To those who have stuck around despite that, thank you!!

It’s been rather busy around here - I spent several months last year studying for the LSAT, and submitted law school applications a month or two ago.

Now that things have calmed down a bit, it seems like the perfect time to share a list of law-themed movies for your viewing pleasure. ALL RISE!

Miracle on 34th Street (1947)

I was talking to someone recently who was surprised by my referring to 34th Street as a “courtroom movie.” They said they didn’t see the trial aspect as being a major part of the movie. I’d be curious if other people feel the same way. To me, those scenes have always been the most important part of the film.

12 Angry Men (1957)

I’ve mentioned before that this is one of my go-to “cozy rainy-day movies.” It’s just so satisfying!

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

A classic. The book is one of my favorites, and Gregory Peck makes a perfect Atticus Finch.

A Few Good Men (1992)

Peak Courtroom Cinema. Peak cinema in general. Tom Cruise in a Navy uniform. Need I say more?

Runaway Jury (2003)

I haven’t seen this one in several years, but I’m due for a rewatch soon. Another gripping “jury movie.”

Thanks again for sticking with me! Hope y'all are having a great start to your week! See you soon - I promise!
