Television and the Legal System

By Barbara Villez

Book Overview

American legal television series have long informed viewers - and fostered myths - about the legal system in the US. Villez examines this genre from the 1940s to the present, and contrasts American legal shows with those in France, where the same genre offers a strikingly different representation of justice.
