Some days, I’m convinced this 2000 movie helped inspire my daughter to become a lawyer. (Other days, I suspect it was Legally Blonde – though, the weekend before she went to law school, I showed her The Paper Chase.)  Julia Roberts is feisty and inspirational in this fact-based story about a lawyer’s assistant who helps her boss (Albert Finney, who’s superb) investigate and take on a utility company suspected of flagrant and toxic environmental pollution.
