Actor Martin Shaw, star of Judge John Deed narrates this feature length celebration of a century of legal films, which captured Britain and Hollywood's shifting attitudes to the law and lawyers.

The trial and the cinema are natural partners sharing intense human drama, unfolding stories and a surprise ending. From 12 Angry Men and Alfred Hitchcock's Anatomy of a Murder to A Few Good Men and more recently, George Clooney's Michael Clayton.

Contributors include Geoffrey Robertson QC; OJ Simpson's defence lawyer Alan Dershowitz; author and advocate Scott Turow; and death row campaigner Clive Stafford Smith.
