Blog Post  Cinema of Law: 2023 Film Series

Overview

Each year in March, the Berkshire Law Library, in partnership with the Friends of the Berkshire Athenaeum and the Berkshire Bar Association, holds the "Cinema of Law" program. We show films about the law, either documentaries or dramas, and we invite attorneys or judges to speak about the legal issues raised by the films. The speakers generally talk for about 15-20 minutes before the films, and stay to answer questions afterwards. Attention Berkshire Community College Students: This program has been approved for Forum Credit.
