Literature is a cultural artifact, a creative practice, and a social bellwether. Lawyers work with legal precedent that reflect a culture of rights and duties, engage a creative rhetorical practice, and make arguments about where we are or should be as a society. Stated this way, possible connections between literary and legal practices are revealed.
There will be three core inquiries around the ideas of law in literature, law as literature, and literature as law. What can we learn as lawyers from a fictive practice of storytelling and close reading of texts? Can literary texts serve as persuasive authority for us as we make larger arguments about the social/legal/policy world we inhabit from a legal perspective?
