Cinema verité, anyone? Movies provide delicious slices of humanity to study ethics, substance abuse, and bias in the legal profession. And don’t forget those niggling questions about law, justice, and morality.

We have collected clips from films with Shakespearean themes
to spark discussion of issues that affect your daily work.

You’ll learn strategies to pursue in a public interest practice
that recognize and deal with
            • Key ethical issues
            • Signs of possible alcohol abuse in colleagues
            • Bias against our clients in the justice system

Experience Benchmark’s trademark training methods - interactive learning that incorporates knowledge and perspectives relevant to public interest practice.

What some people are saying about Go to the Movies:
“Three hands up…way up.”
“If you go to anything this year….[G]o to the [M]ovies.”
