Law movies are usually about the adventure of big cases, big debates. It is an important category in which the just and unjust are tried to be understood, crimes are handled from different points of view, and which allows us to rethink the concept of justice. These are also must-see legal films for law students or aspiring lawyers. While examining the concept of justice, we have also included in our list films that are pioneers of perspectives that have never been experienced before and should be watched by lawyers:<\/div>\n

1) 12 Angry Men (1957)
\nImdb: 8,9<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\"law<\/div>\n
When we think of legal movies, this cult production undoubtedly comes to mind. You follow the decision-making processes of 12 men gathered in a room for the young boy accused of killing his father, and you learn exactly where prejudices should not be in the legal system. What starts with one Jury saying ‘no’ will end with everyone saying ‘yes’ to that one Jury.<\/div>\n

2) Anatomy of a Murder (Anatomy of a Murder – 1959) IMDb: 8,1<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

The deeper your examination of something, short or long, the more meaningful it is. The issue examined in the movie is the case of a man who was killed for raping the wife of a soldier.

4) A Few Good Men (1992)

7) Amistad (1997)

Usury? Stability? Or is it a case of putting up with your feelings?
