Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book is the first to examine how lawyers are portrayed in television dramas and comedies. Serious enough to be discussed in the classroom, entertaining enough to be read in the living room, and useful enough to be kept in the library, Prime Time Law, edited by Jarvis and Joseph, features contributions by eighteen of the country's leading scholars.
