Abstract

After a brief introduction defining popular culture as the commodities and experiences produced by the culture industry for mass audiences, this essay explores the impact of court-related popular culture on what Americans think of and expect from their courts. The Perry Mason effect from an earlier era and the CSI effect from the present are noted, as is scholarly work by Michael Asimow, Philip T. Dunwoody, Kimberlianne Podlas, Victoria S. Salzmann, and others. The essay concludes with suggestions for what might be done in the courthouse, the community, and the family room to control the impact of court-related popular culture on American legal consciousness.

流行文化对美国法院观念的影响

在将大众文化定义为文化工业为大众受众生产的商品和体验的简要介绍之后，本文探讨了与法院相关的流行文化对美国人对法院的看法和期望的影响。正如Michael Asimow、Philip T. Dunwoody、Kimberlianne Podlas、Victoria S. Salzmann等人的学术研究一样，早期的Perry Mason效应和现在的CSI效应也被注意到了。文章最后提出了法院、社区和家庭可以采取的措施，以控制与法院有关的流行文化对美国法律意识的影响。
