Book Reviews of Prime Time Law: Fictional Television as Legal Narrative
Book Review: Prime Time Law -- a great read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read "Prime Time Law" for my Society and Law class at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. It is formatted into essays written on different prime time television shows (i.e. Law & Order, L.A. Law, NYPD Blue, etc.). The book as a whole is an excellent analysis of how law and legal actions are portrayed on the small screen. An exception read for anyone interested in a theoretical analysis of such television programs.
Summary of Prime Time Law: Fictional Television as Legal Narrative
Written by leading academicians from such diverse fields as law, history, English, political science, and mass communication, Prime Time Law examines the depiction of lawyers and legal issues in fictional television. Serious enough to be discussed in the classroom, entertaining enough to be read in the living room, and valuable enough to be kept in the library, Prime Time Law includes references to over 350 shows.Reference Books
