| Description: | Join the Shrewsbury Public Library with Massachusetts trial judge Justice Dennis J.

Attendees will watch 14 courtroom scenes from famous movies and discover why they are so powerful and what they teach about the trial process. Justice Dennis J. Curran (ret.) served as a Massachusetts trial judge for 15 years.
