Anatomy of a Murder

Product Information

Anatomy of a Murder has been well received by members of the legal and educational professions. In 1989, the American Bar Association rated this as one of the 12 best trial films of all time. In addition to its plot and musical score, the article noted: "The film's real highlight is its ability to demonstrate how a legal defense is developed in a difficult case. How many trial films would dare spend so much time watching lawyers do what many lawyers do most (and enjoy least) – research?" [30] The film has also been used as a teaching tool in law schools, as it encompasses (from the defense standpoint) all of the basic stages in the U.S. criminal justice system from client interview and arraignment through trial. The film was listed as No. 4 of 25 "Greatest Legal Movies" by the American Bar Association. [31] Pinho, Kirk (August 13, 2014).

Voelker was born on June 29, 1903, in Ishpeming, Michigan, the youngest of six, [7] to George [8] and Annie (née Traver) Voelker. [9] His father, of German ancestry, was a bar owner in Ishpeming. [8] His grandparents were German immigrants who came to the mining towns of Ontonagon and Negaunee in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to establish breweries. [10] George Voelker was born in Ontonagon in 1860 and learned to speak the Ojibwe language before English. Young John, alongside his older brothers, learned from his father to fly fish for brook trout. [8] Annie Voelker was a music teacher who instilled in her son a love for the written word. Voelker spent most of his life in his hometown. [7] His mother encouraged him to pursue his education; his father was content for Voelker to follow in his footsteps as a barkeeper. [8] He attended the Northern Michigan Normal School (now Northern Michigan University) starting in 1922. He graduated with a teaching certificate in 1924, [11] and then transferred to the University of Michigan Law School. While there, he met his future wife, Grace Taylor of Oak Park, Illinois. The faculty at the University of Michigan asked him to withdraw from the school in 1927, but he cited a regulation allowing him to be reexamined. He improved his grades enough to graduate from the school in 1928 and passed the Michigan bar exam later that year. [7] Legal career [ edit ] Big Bay Visitors' Association (n.d.).
