jury duty

~

I spent today at the DC Federal Court House performing my civic duty- a little bit annoyed for the disruption, a little bit excited about the prospect of being selected. Most of my day was spend watching the Pelican Brief which played continuously on a tv in the Juror's Lounge (not as glamorous as it sounds). I was not selected, but I had time to select my top five law movies of all time.

5. A CIVIL ACTION

4. TWELVE ANGRY MEN

3. PEOPLE v. LARRY FLINT

2. INHERIT THE WIND

1. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

A few good movies I should have seen by now:

THE VERDICT 

{5 Oscar nominations, one sexy lawyer via here}

MY COUSIN VINNY

{entertaining and oscar worthy via here}

ANATOMY OF A MURDER

{classic court drama at its finest via here}

KRAMER v. KRAMER

{Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep. There's nothing more to say}
A FEW GOOD MEN

{An angry Jack Nicholson? I can handle that!}
