It pushes law-and-film scholarship forward in significant ways. The question at its core is not how various groups are represented but rather the more difficult one of how we as legal or cinematic audiences are led to judge these groups. Orit Kamir doesn’t simply ‘do’ an analysis of a group of films. Rather, she uses a set of films as a vehicle to explore the mechanisms of judgment.”—Rebecca Johnson, author of \u003ci\u003eTaxing Choices: The Intersection of Class, Gender, Parenthood, and the Law\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In this fascinating book, Orit Kamir displays an original method for reading law and film that illuminates both a remarkable set of films from around the world and many of our deepest assumptions about law. All this is done from a powerful feministic perspective.
