"This collection examines law and justice on television in different countries around the world. It provides a benchmark for further study of the nature and extent of television coverage of justice in fictional, reality and documentary forms. It does this by drawing on empirical work from a range of scholars in different jurisdictions. Each chapter looks at the raw data of how much 'justice' material viewers were able to access in the multi-channel world of 2014 looking at three phases--apprehension (police), adjudication (lawyers), and disposition (prison/punishment). All of the authors indicate how television has developed in their countries. Some have extensive public service channels mixed with private media channels. Financing ranges from advertising to programme sponsorship to licensing arrangements. A few countries have mixtures of these. Each author also examines how 'TV justice' has developed in their own particular jurisdiction. Readers will find interesting variations and thought-provoking similarities. There are a lot of television shows focused on legal themes that are imported around the world. The authors analyse these as well. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in law, popular culture, TV, or justice and provides an important addition to the literature due to its grounding in empirical data."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Imagining Legality: Where Law Meets Popular Culture is collection of essays on the relationship between law and popular culture that posits, in addition to the concepts of law in the books and law in action, a third concept of law in the image-that is, of law as it is perceived by the public through the lens of public media. Imagining Legality argues that images of law suggested by television and film are as numerous as they are various, and that they give rise to a potent and pervasive imaginative life of the law. The media's projections of the legal

Both law and popular culture pervade our lives. Popular culture constructs our perceptions of law and changes the way that players in the legal system behave. Now in its second edition, Law and Popular Culture: A Course Book explores the interface between two subjects of enormous importance to everyone - law and popular culture. Each chapter takes a particular legally themed film or television show, such as Philadelphia, Dead Man Walking, or Law and Order, treating it as both a cultural text and a legal text. The new edition has been updated with new photos and includes greater emphasis on television than in the first edition because there are so many DVDs of older TV shows now available. Law and Popular Culture is written in an accessible and engaging style, without theoretical jargon, and can serve as a basic text for undergraduates or graduate courses and be taught by anyone who enjoys pop culture and is interested in law. An instructor?s manual is available on request from the publisher and author.

"Depuis près de 50 ans, Star Trek compte des millions de fans à travers le monde. Mais cet univers de science-fiction n'est pas qu'un simple délassement. Il propose un idéal social reposant sur une organisation juridique et des règles de droit très élaborées, qui servent notamment de guide pour explorer des mondes étranges et découvrir de nouvelles civilisations dans la galaxie. Au fil des séries et des films, plusieurs dizaines d'intrigues constituent autant de cas susceptibles de donner lieu à une jurisprudence dans des domaines très variés du droit. Le capitaine Kirk peut-il ainsi déroger à la Directive première, clef de voûte légale de l'exploration spatiale, sans encourir la réprobation de Spock et les foudres de ses supérieurs ? L'androïde Data, qui sert sur l'Enterprise sous les ordres du capitaine Picard, est-il une personne ou une chose ? Le lieutenant Jadzia Dax, officier scientifique de la station Deep Space 9, peut-elle être déclarée pénalement responsable pour un crime qu'aurait commis le symbiote qu'elle porte en elle ? B'Elanna Torres, ingénieur en chef sur l'U S S. Voyager, doit-elle répondre devant un juge de simples pensées hostiles ? Du fin fond de l'espace, nos héros et nos héroïnes de Starfleet doivent affronter des situations aussi complexes qu'inédites, parfois dangereuses, et c'est bien souvent par l'application d'une règle de droit qu'ils trouvent une solution équitable et, si possible, sans violence."--Cover, page 4.

Au détour d'une scène, au coeur de l'intrigue, grâce à leurs décors ou par quelques répliques, à l'écran, les films et les séries font parfois découvrir au spectateur ce qu'est le droit constitutionnel. Les fictions donnent à voir la Constitution ,et ses acteurs, aident à comprendre ses fonctions (l'organisation des pouvoirs publics, la protection des droits et des libertés, une dimension symbolique, etc.) et encouragent même à imaginer ce qu'elle pourrait être. Observer le droit constitutionnel représenté à l'écran invite alors à interroger autrement le phénomène juridique et la culture constitutionnelle. Pour explorer aussi, par la fiction, à travers le cinéma et les séries, un imaginaire : l'imaginaire constitutionnel

« Les règles et les lois sont les piliers de la société. J’aime les règlements. » C’est ainsi que le physicien Sheldon Cooper, l’un des personnages principaux de la série télévisée The Big Bang Theory, exprime sa passion pour l’univers du droit. Il consacre d’ailleurs aux subtilités juridiques une énergie au moins aussi enthousiaste que celle dont il fait preuve, dans sa mission de chercheur à l’université Caltech, pour comprendre les lois régissant le cosmos. Et l’existence n’est guère paisible pour ses amis – Leonard, Howard, Raj, Amy, Bernadette et, bien entendu, Penny – qui doivent subir son attirance infinie, sinon démesurée, pour la « norme », les « contrats » et tout ce qui touche à la « procédure ». Fort d’une pensée juridique originale, parfois excentrique, mais toujours cohérente, c’est donc à un véritable voyage dans les espaces du droit auquel nous invite Sheldon Cooper. Car The Big Bang Theory n’est pas seulement l’une des séries comiques les plus populaires des débuts du xxiesiècle. Elle constitue une réflexion ambitieuse sur les moyens et les fins du droit dans une société complexe à la recherche inlassable de son point d’équilibre.

"Law, Judges and Visual Culture analyses how pictures have been used to make, manage and circulate ideas about the judiciary through a variety of media from the 16th century to the present. This book offers a new approach to thinking about and making sense of an important social institution; the judiciary. In an age in which visual images and celebrity play a key role in the way we produce, communicate and consume ideas about society and its key institutions, this book provides the first in depth study of visual images of judges in that context. It not only examines what appears within the frame of these images, it also explores the impact technologies and the media industries that produce them have upon the way we engage with them, and the experiences and meanings they generate. Drawing upon a wide range of scholarship - including art history, film and television studies, social and cultural studies as well as law - and interviews with a variety of practitioners, painters, photographers, television script writers and producers, as well as court communication staff and judges - the book generates new and unique insights into making, managing and viewing pictures of judges. Original and insightful, Law, Judges and Visual Culture will appeal to scholars, postgraduates and undergraduates from a variety of disciplines interested in the role of visual culture in the production social justice and its institutions"--
