Overview

The Cinema of Law film series is a free public program every March to screen movies on law and justice, now in its nineteenth year. The Berkshire Law Library, in partnership with the Friends of the Berkshire Athenaeum and the Berkshire County Bar Association, hosts the program at the Berkshire Athenaeum – Pittsfield’s public library. The films are introduced by a judge or an attorney, who will speak for 15-20 minutes prior to each screening and stay to answer audience questions afterward.
