    Think you know the real story of the infamous McDonald's "hot coffee" case? Think again. This eye opening film reveals the many ways that big business influences civil justice and how the little guy loses out. Interviews with John Grisham, Senator Al Franken, and others shed light on the spin, loopholes, and backdoor bargaining that plague our justice system and what you can do about it. Film followed by panel discussion with local civil justice experts.

    The first in a series of social justice programs honoring the memory of Alan Lerner, First Person Arts supporter, UPenn Law School professor and advocate for the little guy.
