Law and Literature Seminar, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville

This course is intended to enable and encourage students to explore the relationships among law, jurisprudence, literature, and life. Students read fiction, non-fiction and poetry—contemporary and classical; discuss and examine jurisprudential concepts as they relate to everyday life; and develop skills that will make them better lawyers. This information has been collected for the Post-Discipline Online Syllabus Database. The database explores the use of literature by schools of professional education in North America. It forms part of a larger project titled Post-Discipline: Literature, Professionalism, and the Crisis of the Humanities, led by Dr Merve Emre with the assistance of Dr Hayley G. Toth. You can find more information about the project at https://postdiscipline.english.ox.ac.uk/. Data was collected and accurate in 2021/22.
