Trade Review
"Cogent, clear, and compelling, Law in Film will certainly bring a new perspective to film studies."-David Desser, editor, Cinema Journal "Black's engaging treatments of the link between law and film are apt in an age that seems to be wrestling with the power of film documentation and camera as witness."-John Brigham, author of The Cult of the Court
