Abstract
This piece explores the place of film in legal pedagogy, examining the use of '12 Angry Men' in teaching the Law of Evidence. I argue that the immersive quality of the film provides a medium well-suited to contextualising this subject; that it fosters a sense of the human frailty at the heart of one of the criminal law's central institutions: the trial by jury.
