Visual Legal Advocacy at Penn Law School-An Introduction
summary
Claims that cheap digital video and storytelling let clients speak for themselves in mediations, clemency, administrative hearings and public campaigns, with concrete outputs: a $60,000 visual media lab (cameras, lights, mics, Macs) and a student-produced clemency video produced to help a pardoned applicant return to education. Program catalogs dozens of documentaries and victim-impact films, streams examples for lawyers, and is actively challenging prison filming bans while training students in nonfiction legal film production.
