Abstract

As a professional actress who has played a well-known lawyer on television, the author offers her perspective of the effects popular culture and television have had on the law. Through her legal career on the popular television show The Practice, she asserts that legal television can influence public attitudes on issues such as social justice because people see reality through the camera lens.
