Starring James Garner, Gina Gershon, et al. Released to DVD on April 13, 1999.

Despite the seeming saturation of the American public with legal facts and documents--need anyone be reminded that Kenneth Starr made the front page every newspaper in the continental United States for a good year and a half time period?--Legalese presented a new and rather candidly refreshing look at the law.

Gina Gershon stars in Legalese as Angela Beale, a beautiful actress who has been accused of murdering her sister's abusive husband. Beale claims it was self-defense, the prosecution murder. Beale turns to the Robert Shapiro-like Norman Keane (James Garner). This was a smooth, cohesive and genuinely entertaining film.
