[Number] 7800 - 2 [Semester] 11362013 Summer [Description] There are two branches in the study of law and literature: law in literature and law as literature. The first branch looks at how law appears in literature in order to understand how law relates to the larger society. This approach also suggests that the study of literature, by developing empathic responses to the lives of others, can help lawyers and judges be better jurists. The second branch posits that the study of literary forms may aid the lawyer in the interpretation of legal texts, such as judicial opinions. This seminar will touch on both branches, although the focus will be on the first: law and lawyers as they appear in literature, and the ways that literature can enrich our understanding of what law and lawyering can mean.
