It makes sense that the portrayals of lawyers and the law in the media affects American's views of our legal system, but how do those views and the expectations they bring affect the legal system in return?

Studies in Law & Popular Culture attempt to answer those questions. In an increasingly litigious age, where shows and movies about lawyers abound, the answers are becoming more important.
