It's not often that a movie comes with a recommendation from the American Bar Association, but the movie "Bridge of Spies," starring Tom Hanks, does exactly that. The movie opens in theaters tomorrow (October 16).
Hanks plays the role of attorney James Donovan. "In 1957, the New York State Bar approached Donovan to represent an
alleged Russian spy to give the appearance of–but not to actually
provide–a fair trial. Refusing to be part of the charade, Donovan
provides zealous representation for his client, taking the case all the
way to the U.S. Supreme Court." (ABA Journal)
For those of you in any of my classes, this would count as an off-campus activity. Arrange an outing with your fellow paralegal students for maximum points.
