On April 23 and 24 I participated in a round table discussion at the University of Illinois College of Law, entitled "Beyond Wallstreet: The Interplay Among Film, Business, and the Law." The program was an exploration of the way popular media portrays business and law. Participants attended the annual "Ebertfest," the yearly film festival hosted by film critic Roger Ebert.
