A Civil Action

For your essay, write a 2 page paper that answers the following questions:

1. How does the movie do in depicting the tedious nature of discovery (finding evidence, witness testimony, etc.)
2. How does the movie depict the savage world of settlement in civil cases?
3. Can you put a dollar amount on suffering?
4. Are civil cases worth accepting from the point of view of a personal injury lawyer?

Here are some links that might help.
