Eating Popcorn like a Lawyer: Featuring Marc Lemieux

Wednesday, February 7, 2024 12:30to14:00
OCDH - Room 16 & Online
Price: 
Free

Organized in collaboration with the Sciences Po Law School, ‘Eating Popcorn like a Lawyer’ is a seminar series that seeks to establish a continuous dialogue between the fields of law and film. For each session we invite a prominent legal scholar to select, discuss and analyze a thought-provoking film.

Join us to discuss Steven Spielberg’s modern classic (2002) with banking and payment law expert, lecturer and avid moviegoer (Lemieux Law Firm & 91 Faculty of Law). Together we will shine critical light on the romantic depiction of bank account fraud and law enforcement. The film’s focus on a rich victim (Pan Am) obfuscates the pain and shame that criminals, cold-hearted “customer care” employees and unfit police officers inflict on real victims on a daily basis all around the world.

The film is to be watched beforehand. Through the 91 Library it is .
