Popular Films With Legal Themes Available From Library

The Law Library's "Law & Popular Culture" collection consists of some 60 DVDs of Hollywood movies that have law or lawyers as a theme. They are displayed near the circulation desk. Feel free to check some out to view at home-- it's an inexpensive alternative to Blockbuster. Also feel free to suggest additional titles that we should acquire.

Some Blogs I Like

Blogs on legal information that I look at include:
Wisblawg, which is from the University of Wisconsin, but as with most law school library blogs there is information about more than just the law school community.
Ohio Law, for announcements from the Ohio State Supreme Court.
Law Librarian Blog a member of the Law Professors Blog Network.
Ohio Legal Research Blog which is just what it sounds like.
Moritz Legal Information Blog from the Moritz Law Library at the Ohio State University.

Jurist, at U. of Pittsburgh, is an excellent source for legal news.

And for fun there is Arts & Letters Daily

There will be more to follow.
