12 Angry Men

I just did another mini jury duty activity and the students had all sorts of issues they had to work through as a group. The discussions were great and so we worked on some other legal concepts (beyond a reasonable doubt, assumptions, speculation, etc.). I followed it up by showing the movie "12 Angry Men" and it really created a great discussion on duty, group work, bias, and reasonable doubt. I had forgotten who all stared in the movie other than Fonda but I recognized a bunch of others including Jack Klugman......consider the film, it raises lots of good discussion questions.
