Our membership includes private practitioners, government employees, academics, and others, both lawyers and non-lawyers, of diverse backgrounds and interests, but all share a common fascination with and interest in regulatory law and governmental function.

Law in the 80s, The Practice and Ally McBeal in the 90s, to Boston Legal, Shark and Law & Order today, the television industry has generated an endless stream of dramatic series involving law and lawyers. The way lawyers are perceived has depended on how they are portrayed on television series and in the media. A new guide, Lawyers in Your Living Room! Law on Television examines television series from the past and present, domestic and foreign, that are devoted to the law. $24.95 |
