The 25 Greatest Legal Movies


Gregory Peck in "To Kill a Mockingbird"


This is off-topic but I am a Legal Secretary and this is my blog so I thought I'd throw you a movie-related post today! (I do love a good film, don't you?)

The August 2008 issue of the ABA Journal (American Bar Association) has a fun article called The 25 Greatest Legal Movies. The Journal polled 12 "prominent lawyers" who teach film or are connected to the film industry to select what they regard as the best movies ever made about lawyers and the law. Together, the films represent 31 Oscars. Quite impressive!

There are several I have never seen (and now want to), but some of my all-time favorites are in there such as #1, #3, and #21.
