The Lincoln Lawyer (2011)

The Lincoln Lawyer movie is an interest to me because the story life of the movie is relatable. Every year, lawyers, judges, prosecutors, and juries deals with these types of criminal cases. This movie was done in the year of 2011 and I feel like I can relate to it more. Lawyers represent defendants every day and I feel like this movie might help me understand more about a lawyer and a client relationship. Also, I have never been into a courtroom to witness a hearing or to see how the court system operate. Furthermore, I ‘am looking forward to this movie because I heard it was based on a true story and I want to see how the juris decide the case.
The thing that make this movie relevant to the course material is how

    The Real Lincoln By Thomas Delorenzo Summary

The reason that makes me believe why DiLorenzo wrote this book is that it says in the first paragraph of the introduction, “According to one source, more than 16,000 books have been written on virtually every aspect of Lincoln’s private life and public life. But much of what has been written about Lincoln is myth “(1).…

    Summary Of Crook County: Racism And Injustice

    And, as we learned in class, even if we know that culture is wrong and against our moral judgment, we do not want to stick out in a crowd. So, in a courtroom setting, attorneys know that racism and the injustices that it causes are morally wrong and they may not agree with it, but they often put personal beliefs aside once they step in the courtroom.

It is a depressingly vicious cycle. This part of the book truly hit home because it was stated in such a way that was understandable and was something I could relate to.…
