The Lincoln Lawyer

Law Movie Night Out was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who came!

I recommend The Lincoln Lawyer to those who have not seen it yet. It is a very entertaining legal thriller, with lots of suspense all the way through.
The film touches on areas of criminal law, criminal procedure, and legal ethics.
I think the issues of legal ethics the film raises are most interesting. While the film's story is not very realistic, it is still interesting to watch how Matthew McConaughey's character deals with the ethical issues raised as the story progresses. He must deal with conflicts regarding the loyalty to his client and the duties imposed on criminal defense attorneys. The character bends some rules, and breaks some others.
The film makes for interesting discussion on legal ethics, and is quite entertaining. Overall: Highly recommended
