I (Kim Akass) would like to draw your attention to a new TV Reflection just posted.  We are lucky
enough to have a contribution by Barbara Villez who is professor of legal language and
culture at the Universit de Paris 8.  She provides a fascinating study of the French
made-for-TV film Rendez-moi Justice (Maha Productions 2007), as one of the more
successful examples of hybrid drama-documentary making, and poses the question -

do justice to the legal system ?

We also have an updated list of calls for papers for conferences, journals and edited
collections, plus our usual listings of postgraduate funding, academic vacancies and
conferences, symposia, study days and events coming up in November.

As usual we welcome your contributions which should be emailed to me at
kimakassAThotmail.com
or editorsATcriticalstudiesintelevision.com.

We are particularly interested in short, polemic blasts, opinions on any TV related
subject, as well as the more usual academic contributions.

With best wishes
