Gilbert Law Summaries on Administrative Law

It is essential to cover California administrative law in an administrative law course in California. First, the clients of California lawyers are much more likely to have disputes with California state and local agencies than with federal agencies. Second, California administrative law is very different from federal law. In virtually every instance, these differences lie in the direction of protecting private business and individual interests rather than favoring the agencies. California Administrative Law is designed as a supplement to be used in the basic administrative law course. It could also be used as the text for an advanced course or seminar in California administrative law.

Both law and popular culture pervade our lives. Popular culture constructs our perceptions of law and changes the way that players in the legal system behave. Now in its second edition, Law and Popular Culture: A Course Book explores the interface between two subjects of enormous importance to everyone – law and popular culture. Each chapter takes a particular legally themed film or television show, such as Philadelphia, Dead Man Walking, or Law and Order, treating it as both a cultural text and a legal text. The new edition has been updated with new photos and includes greater emphasis on television than in the first edition because there are so many DVDs of older TV shows now available. Law and Popular Culture is written in an accessible and engaging style, without theoretical jargon, and can serve as a basic text for undergraduates or graduate courses and be taught by anyone who enjoys pop culture and is interested in law. An instructor’s manual is available on request from the publisher and author.

Both law and popular culture pervade our lives. Movies and television shape our perception of law and change how players in the legal system behave. Now in its third edition, Law and Popular Culture: A Course Book explores the interface between these enormously important subjects. Jessica Silbey joins Michael Asimow as a co-author of the book. \nEach chapter examines a particular law-related subject, such as the adversary system, the life of lawyers, legal education, or family law. Each chapter is structured around a legally-themed film or television show, such as Philadelphia, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Lincoln Lawyer, or LA Law, treating each of them as both a cultural text and a legal text.\nThe book is written in an engaging style without theoretical jargon and can serve as a basic text for undergraduate or graduate courses and seminars. It can be taught by anyone who enjoys pop culture and is interested in law. An instructor's manual is available on request. 
 Review 
Now on its third edition, Michael Asimow and Jessica Silbey's Law and Popular Culture: A Coursebook is a classic that has taught generations of students how to critically analyze the complex connections binding popular legal reel-ity on screen and historical legal reality in courtrooms, and the interplay between both. The book also serves as a masterful overview of both the various techniques film makers use to create engaging legal narratives as well as the different theories legal scholars use to analyze these narratives. Clearly organized; engagingly written; pedagogically oriented with suggested questions and activities to enhance learning at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, this is a must-read for not only students and teachers of film and law, but also the general reader. Caroline Joan S. Picart, author, Framing Law and Crime: An Interdisciplinary Anthology.\nLaw and Popular Culture combines film history, social history and legal issues in a readable and engaging way. Better still, the course will help any would-be lawyer to see his or her role in society in a more humane and responsible way. But best of all, this book and this course offers entertainment as well as enlightenment. I never wanted to be a lawyer, but if this course had been around when I was in college, I would happily have embraced it. -Richard Schickel, Film critic, Time Magazine, documentarian, and author of numerous books on film history and criticism. \nLaw and Popular Culture: A Course Book is a welcome addition to the teaching literature in this important and burgeoning field. It may be used as a primary or secondary text, with a concise introductory overview followed by analytical chapters on important individual films or television shows in the context of this dynamic field of study. This structure, together with thoughtful organization (initially by broad topic such as "the adversary system," and later by subject matter, either civil or criminal) facilitates teacher flexibility in which chapters to include and which films or television shows (or substitutes) to assign for student viewing before each class. I highly recommend this book. --Donald Papy, Adjunct Professor, University of Miami School of Law\nAbout the Author

Real trials and courtroom movies are made for each other. Lawyers are storytellers, courtrooms are theaters, and the trial process provides drama, surprise, suspense or comedy. \nThis book will serve as a video guide to help you identify the courtroom movies you'd like to see. It ranks each of the films on a one- to four- gavel system, with four gavels for the classics. And it answers the questions you'll be asking as you see the films. Where does truth end and trickery begin? Can lawyers really pull rabbits out of hats with unexpected courtroom stunts? Did the trial process reveal the truth-or conceal it? How well do reel trials reflect real events? \nThese are just some of the topics you'll encounter as the authors analyze over 200 courtroom movies, including such classics as To Kill a Mockingbird, My Cousin Vinny, 12 Angry Men, and The Trial of the Chicago 7. An index at the back of the book lists all of the films reviewed in the book. \nThe book celebrates the courtroom genre that has intrigued viewers around the world. The authors will entertain and educate you on a fascinating journey through nine decades of reel law, lawyers and justice.
