Question:
Prepare a report on the movie "A Civil Action", providing a brief summary of the plot and specifically addressing the following areas:
(1) Identify any ethical issues faced by the attorney or firm. Were those issues addressed correctly, under the ethical rules of your state?
(2) Consider the popular perception of lawyers and law firms. Is the movie's portrayal consistent with what people think? Is the portrayal harmful or good for the image of the legal profession? Do you think the movie reflects reality in the practice of law?
(3) Discuss the roles played by non-lawyers in the practice portrayed in the movie.
(4) Does the movie's portrayal of office politics give you an insight into the motivations behind people's actions? For example: Why might partners be reluctant to let others lawyers in their own firm meet their clients?
(5) Is there any mention of technology? If the movie is recent, did you note any interesting applications of technology? If the movie is older, did you note any situations in which today's technology might have changed the plot?
