Summary/Abstract: Legal English (LE) teaching and popular culture seem so distant from each other that one could not fancy the LE instructor actually resorting to the latter in finding trustworthy resources for teaching legal terminology. However, the proximity of these two areas is demonstrated by the increasing use of movies or courtroom shows in teaching about law and legal matters. Even though these movies favor the dramatic effect at the expense of the accuracy of legal information, given their popularity among students, they can be used as inspiring resources in teaching legal terminology and they can develop law students‘ professional communication competences.
