Law and film is a quickly-developing interdisciplinary branch which has recently been getting more and more attention, while being almost completely ignored in the Republic of Croatia. The themes that law and film cover are various. Firstly, it can be observed how law and film affect each other and how that interrelation affects the opinions of citizens – i.e. the progress of legal culture overall. Also, film can be observed as a sort of source of law, since certain films and/or scenes can serve as case studies. In this topic there will be mention of several famous films which are entirely (or most of the time) set in a courtroom (so-called courtroom dramas).
