Description

In star-led commercial films, the courtroom has traditionally been presented as the hallowed ground that the wronged enter with innocent optimism.

In her essay as part of our special series commemorating 75 years of the Supreme Court, film critic Anna Vetticad argues that the portrayal of the judiciary extends beyond entertainment—it serves as a mirror reflecting societal attitudes toward justice.
