Analysis of the Passage of Prop 8 by the California First Amendment Coalition
The California First Amendment Coalition has posted a commentary on the passage of Proposition 8 and what it means for the California Supreme Court here.
Top 25 Legal Films
"Earlier this year, the ABA Journal asked 12 prominent lawyers who teach film or are connected to the business to choose what they regard as the best movies ever made about lawyers and the law. We’ve collated their various nominees to produce our jury’s top picks. Together these films represent 31 Oscar wins and another 85 nominations as befits the best work of some of the greatest actors, writers and directors of their time." (http://www.abajournal.com/magazine/the_25_greatest_legal_movies/)
The results of this poll were published in the August issue of the ABA Journal. We purchased most of these films (a couple were not available in DVD) for the law library.
So, for your viewing pleasure, check out one of the following:
12 Angry Men
A Civil Action
A Few Good Men
A Man for All Seasons
Amistad
Anatomy of a Murder
And Justice for All
Breaker Morant
Chicago
Compulsion
Erin Brockovich
In the Name of the Father
Inherit the Wind
Judgment at Nuremberg (the classic version with Spencer Tracy)
Kramer vs. Kramer
My Cousin Vinny
Philadelphia
Presumed Innocent
Reversal of Fortune
The Paper Chase
To Kill A Mockingbird
The Verdict
Witness for the Prosecution
Law students and faculty may check out a movie for 24 hours. Enjoy your weekend!

FIRST FLOOR IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
The first floor renovation, including the new reading room, is complete and we hope you are as delighted with it as we are! The reading room is a large, well-lit, VERY QUIET study space. Open reserve is now on the first floor as well, along with all staff offices.
The BASEMENT level is open and accessible from the first floor, down the hallway and taking either the stairwell or the elevator. The basement level lab is open. And if your files are on a flash drive, we also have a plug & print station set up next to the photocopier on the first floor.
The PLAZA level is now closed for renovation and is scheduled to re-open at the start of the Spring semester. It will host additional group study rooms, additional study carrels, and a new computer lab.
Thank you all for your patience during this construction time, but we think you'll agree that the results are well worth it!

Construction Update and Scheduled Closures
Renovation of the first floor level continues on schedule and we will be moving upstairs the weekend of October 18-19. Toward that end, the law library will CLOSE on Friday, October 17 at 3pm and will remain closed all weekend. Monday morning, October 20, we will open at 7:30am with the new entrance on the first floor. We are all very excited about the new space, and you will love the new reading room! Reference, Open Reserve, California practice materials and staff offices will be re-located to the first floor.
The PLAZA LEVEL will then be CLOSED from October 17 at 3pm until the beginning of the spring semester. The plaza level will be renovated with new carpeting, shelving, additional study carrels space, two additional group study rooms, and a renovated computer lab. We will move the most-used California materials to the first floor during this time, but please be aware that California case reporters and legislative materials will be in storage for approximately 8 weeks. We will help you find necessary documents online or from another source if needed.
The BASEMENT LEVEL remains open during this time, and will be accessible via the stairwell or elevator.
Thank you for your patience during this time of construction. The noise will soon be over and forgotten as you study in our fresh, new areas.
