Silbey is a law professor at Suffolk University Law School in Boston,

the cultural analysis of law, exploring the law beyond its doctrine to the
contexts and processes in which legal relations develop and become significant
for everyday actors. Professor Silbey has published widely in the field
of law and film, exploring how film is used as a legal tool and how it becomes
an object of legal analysis in light of its history as a cultural object and
art form. She recently co-edited a book about law and television entitled Law
and Justice on the Small Screen (2012).
