Tuesday, November 11: Law Library Movie Night!

All are invited to the Law Library and Riesenfeld Center's fall 2025 Movie Night, on Tuesday, November 11, from 3:30 to 6 p.m.!

Enjoy pizza, popcorn, candy and pop, and an evening of classic cinema, featuring Inherit the Wind (1960)

WhatInherit the Wind (1960)
When: 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, November 11
Where: Room 20 (subplaza) 

There will be a short quiz for two Law School sweatshirt prizes afterwards, and brief discussion of the movie's fidelity to the trial.

Inherit the Wind (1960) brought The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes (1925) to cinematic life, portraying the battle between Darwinian evolution and creationism in a form that captured the fireworks of the landmark courtroom showdown between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan.   

Don’t miss this memorable film that (sometimes with inadvertent, campy humor) fictionalized the trial that shook a nation.

The screening is part of the Library and Riesenfeld Center's commemorations of the Scopes Trial and its yearlong exhibit currently open in the Riesenfeld Center.
