Listen "Representation Matters: Perceptions and Possibilities"
Episode Synopsis
It is important to have diverse representation of lawyers on TV and in films because representation shows possibility. In this week's episode, our hosts discuss these possibilities and the common themes and biases often portrayed in the storylines of some of our favorite TV lawyers such as Olivia Pope and Annalise Keating. Is the existence of these diverse characters enough of a win, or can the stereotypes they present do more harm than good? Our hosts consider this and discuss the tangible experience in entertainment law that our guest host, Loren Mulraine, has in negotiating the terms of his clients' portrayal. Join us for this engaging discussion of some critical TV lawyer scenes as we contemplate the commentary that these scenes consciously or unconsciously spark.Our Hosts this Week:Tenia L.
