Lawyers and Solicitors on the Big Screen

Hollywood has a tendency to play for the dramatic, particularly in a good, old-fashioned movie court case. We all love watching a bit of drama unfold, as long as we're not at the centre of it ourselves. Movies have a way of instilling a genuine sense of the theatrical into what would ordinarily be a stuffy, paperwork-laden atmosphere. With years of experience in a variety of legal fields, Glenn Duker, solicitor and lawyer, is perfectly suited to handling your – hopefully less dramatic – courtroom showdown.


Whether you look at legal classics like 12 Angry Men, Inherit the Wind, or The Miracle on 34th Street – Hollywood has promoted the role of the lawyer in equal parts hero and villain. Who can forget Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird? The classic character that no doubt launched a great many legal careers and ambitions, and is – to this day – still the pop cultural reference of everything honest and good about the legal system and the lawyers and solicitors that operate within it.

Closer to home, we've had classics such as Breaker Morant, which brought to light a legal situation that was poorly handled – sadly, to the detriment of those involved. That's what the legal system is all about – fighting against things that are wrong.

Of course we have modern classics like Tom Hanks unforgettable turn in Philadelphia, or the performance of Julia Roberts in the Academy Award-winning Erin Brockovich. For many people, A Few Good Men will be the standout courtroom stoush that comes to mind, and who could blame them? What's that famous line again? Hmm, never mind.

When it comes to the reality of everyday life and the unpredictable legal issues that can be thrown your way – you know you can rely on the services of Glenn Duker lawyer and solicitor to protect you and your assets.

Wikipedia and the Battle of the Monkey Selfie

Copyright law can lead to some pretty strange and unusual legal situations, and possibly one of the most unusual on record took place over a monkey selfie. Glenn Duker, solicitor and lawyer, explains.

Glenn Duker

Professional wildlife photographer David Slater went to Indonesia in 2011 to capture images of the local creatures. While getting his camera and other equipment ready, his photo shoot was hijacked by a mischievous monkey – a crested black macaque – which grabbed his camera and took a series of selfies. The resulting images were absolute gold – funny, cute, and a one-in-a-million event. Unsurprisingly, as soon as the photos landed on the internet, they went viral.

However, the trouble started when the photos eventually ended up on Wikipedia – and more specifically, the Wikipedia Commons, which collects photos and images it considers to be in the public domain and therefore free for anyone to use. This angered Slater, who considered the photo to be under his copyright. In his point of view, he was the ‘author’ of the photo and should be compensated whenever it was reproduced. He demanded that Wikipedia take it down.

However, Wikipedia responded that technically, the monkey was the author. Therefore, because non-human authors can’t own copyright under US law, it was owned by no-one. In their argument, Slater had not contributed enough to the photograph to grant him ownership of the copyright – as in their definition, an author has “contributed to the expressive content”. 

Slater is aggrieved and feels that Wikipedia’s editors have “a communistic view of life” and are trying to push a political agenda. He has urged people to stop using the site, although it appears his pleas have been largely unsuccessful. In the meantime, the photograph continues to be widely distributed and enjoyed by internet users around the world.

If you find yourself facing a battle over intellectual property and copyright, lawyer Glenn Duker is a seasoned professional you can turn to for trustworthy assistance and advice.

The Defendant VS the Media with Glenn Duker, Lawyer

You’d be living under a rock if you hadn’t heard about the ASADA driven peptides investigation that rocked the Australian sporting landscape, dragging two marquee clubs in two different codes through a media hell-storm. Regardless of who’s to blame, there’s one thing you simply cannot do without in tough situations like these – a reliable, experienced lawyer and solicitor like Glenn Duker.

This has obviously been a high-profile case in Melbourne and throughout Australia – even registering a blip worldwide at one point! Positions like this can be extremely difficult for defendants and the prosecution alike. How do you let the facts speak for themselves when such an enormous contingent of the media is feasting off every theory, every fabricated truth and any vague hint of information? Every legal situation is different, and there’s no easy answer.

The best way to attack such a situation is by employing the services of the best legal team you can find. A reputable lawyer and solicitor, such as Glenn Duker, will be your first line of defence in both the court of law, and the court of public opinion.


If you think about the Essendon Football Club and the Cronulla Sharks, we may never know what those players were injected with – and yet the public perception is extremely negative. That’s the power of the media. We present a united team. There’s no point splintering into factions, all it will do is weaken you resolve and severely weaken your defence.  A reputable lawyer will help you combat this if you ever find yourself embroiled in a high-profile lawsuit. In a perfect world, you won’t find yourself in need of such services. Though as we know, these incidents can occur at any time. It’s best to stay protected!
