Lawyering Skills: From "A" To "Z"

Creighton law prof Kelly Anders (pictured) has been a Lounge visitor on multiple occasions, including stints as one of our "Oscar trivia experts" in recent years.  Next month, Carolina Academic Press will publish Kelly's new book, Advocacy to Zealousness: Learning Lawyering Skills from Classic Films.  Details are available here.  A review of the table of contents reveals that Kelly builds her textual discussion of 26 different lawyering skills (one for each letter of the alphabet [including the always challenging "q" and "x"!]) around 26 different films, including such law-related favorites as To Kill a Mockingbird and 12 Angry Men, and others that are completely new to me, such as Pinky and Salesman.

Sounds like a book that should certainly interest those who teach a course in lawyering skills, Law and Film, or Law and Culture.  And if you don't?  A love of film should be hook enough!

Kudos, Kelly!

Thanks, Tim. I appreciate the kudos, and I am delighted to return as a visitor to The Lounge this month.
