DESCRIPTION:Richard K. Sherwin\, Professor of Law\, New York Law SchoolThe 
 Trial of the Police Officers Who Beat Rodney King  On March 2\, 1991\, Geo
 rge Holliday stepped out onto his terrace with his new video camera in han
 d. Little did he realize\, when he switched it on\, that the pictures he w
 ould capture would mark a critical moment in the screen life of law in the
  digital age. Holliday’s fortuitous filming captured a group of Los Angele
 s police officers furiously beating motorist Rodney King following a high 
 speed chase on Interstate 210 in San Fernando Valley\, California. These i
 mages would soon spread\, via the news media\, around the U.S. and the wor
 ld. The officers’ subsequent acquittal on assault charges would spark one 
 of the worst race riots in American history\, leaving 53 people dead and $
 1 billion in damage. What did the jurors see and hear inside the courtroom
  that moved them so far out of alignment with large segments of the Americ
 an public?  About The Great Trials  IPLAI's Great Trials lecture series co
 nsiders a collection of history-making trials across time and examines the
  social and political contexts in which they took place as well as their c
 ultural consequences. The series takes the position that ‘law’ happens as 
 much outside the courtroom as it does within it\, and that each of these p
 ivotal events stands as testament to the ways in which constructions of au
 thority\, law\, and justice have informed cultural consciousness across ce
 nturies.  IPLAI is pleased to offer the lectures in this series for CLE cr
 edit through the Barreau du Québec.  Where: Westmount Library\, 4574 Sherb
 rooke St. W.When: All lectures will begin at 5:30pm  Registration fees: $6
 0 for the series of 5 lectures\, or $15 for individual lectures. Registrat
 ion at the door the day of each lecture may be possible\, but places will

 nly\, payable to McGill University. We will be unable to accept cash at th
