"Trial—The City and County of Denver vs. Lauren R. Watson" is being presented as part of the Museum's "What's Happening?" series. It was filmed by Robert M. Fresco and Denis Sanders for National Educational Television. The film begins with the selection of the jury and includes the examina tion of police officer Robert C. Cantwell and defendant Lauren R. Watson. It concludes with the verdict. The charges against Watson, stemming from an incident on November 6, 1968, are resisting and interfering with a police officer in the discharge of duty. Watson claims to be a victim of police harassment. The trial is actually a microcosm of the larger conflicts between the police and Panthers. The camera has access to the courtroom and the judge's chambers. Interviews with all major participants in the trial are included. The four part dociimentary will be shown as follows: Part I on January 4 at 3:30 p.m. and January 5 at noon; Part II on January 11 at 3:30 p.m. and January 12 at noon; Part III on January 18 at 3:30 p.m. and January 19 at noon; and Part IV on January 25 at 3:30 p.m. and January 26 at noon. ********************* iff ******************* Additional information available from Lillian Gerard, Film Coordinator, and Mark Segal, Assistant, Department of Public Information, The Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53rd Street, New York, New York 10019.

Silbey* This Article exposes internalcontradictions in case law concerning the use and ad- missibility of film as evidence. Based on a review of more than ninety state and federal cases datingfrom 1923 to the present, the Article explains how the source of these contradictionsis the frequent miscategorizationoffilm as "demonstrativeevi- dence, "evidence that purports to illustrate other evidence, ratherthan to be directly probative of some fact at issue. The Articlefurtherdemonstrates how these contradic- tions are based on two venerablejurisprudential anxieties. One is the concern about the growing trend toward replacing the traditionaltestimony of live witnesses in court with communications via video and film technology.

Courtroom Drama with Chinese Characteristics: a Comparative Approach to Legal Process in Chinese Cinema
Courtroom Drama With Chinese Characteristics: A Comparative Approach to Legal Process in Chinese Cinema Stephen McIntyre* While previous “law and film” scholarship has concentrated mainly on Hollywood films, this article examines legal themes in Chinese cinema. It argues that Chinese films do not simply mimic Western conventions when portraying the courtroom, but draw upon a centuries-old, indigenous tradition of “court case” (gong’an) melodrama. Like Hollywood cinema, gong’an drama seizes upon the dramatic and narrative potential of legal trials. Yet, while Hollywood trial films turn viewers into jurors, pushing them back and forth between the competing stories that emerge from the adversarial process, gong’an drama eschews any recognition of opposing narratives, instead centering on the punishment of decidedly guilty criminals. The moral clarity and punitive sense of justice that characterize gong’an drama are manifest in China’s modern-day legal system and in Chinese cinema. An analysis of Tokyo Trial, a 2006 Chinese film about the post-World War II war crimes trial in Japan, demonstrates the lasting influence of gong’an drama. Although Tokyo Trial resembles Hollywood courtroom drama in many respects, it remains faithful to the gong’an model. This highlights the robustness of China’s native gong’an tradition and the attitudes underlying it. * J.D., Duke University School of Law; M.A., East Asian Studies, Duke University; B.A., Chinese, Brigham Young University.

I also thank those who attended and participated in the 2011 Kentucky Foreign Language Conference at the University of Kentucky, at which I presented an earlier version of this article.

Contemporary TV Legal Drama As (Post-)Postmodern Publ Ic Sphere
Keua KeNzrpn Of Lega I Rou lette a nd Eccentric Cl ients: Contemporary TV Legal Drama as (Post-)Postmodern Publ ic Sphere Abstract: This afticle explores the specific capacity of TV courtroom drama to dramalize civic issues and to seduce viewers to an active engagement with such issues. I argue that television series of this genre exploit the apparent theatricality of their subject matter-trials-to invite their audiences to the deliberation of social or political issues, issues that they negotiate in their courtroom plots. Contemporary coufiroom dramas amend this issue orientation with a self-reflexive dimension in which they encourage viewers to also reflect on how the dramatic construction of issues' shapes their civic debate. I unfold this argument through a reading of episodes from two very different legal dramas, Boston Legal (2004-2008) and The Good Wife (2009-). lntroduction On TV.com's discussion board for the legal drama series ,Bosfon Legal, one of the longest and most intense discussions concems the ideas reflected in the recunent lawsuits against the US goverarment that the series imagines, a discussion that ultimately revolves around questions of US politics and national identity ("Alan vs. the U.S.");t legal scholars, in a special issue of The Yale Law Journal, applaud the way in which popular legal dramas engage with ethical questions;2 among the past winners of the Humanitas Prize, an award dedicated to honoring TV programs that raise 'humanitarian awareness,'3 are a notable number of legal drama series, incfudtng The Of course, the discussion of characters and story lines tlpical of such fan forums takes up most space, but the thread "A1an vs.
