WRIT 220 The Law as/in Literature
This course focuses on the interdisciplinary connections between rhetoric, the law, and literature. Students will analyze legal texts (the law as literature) and literary and other non-legal texts that discuss the law (the law in literature). In addition, students will explore how the law has regulated writing and speech. While American legal and literary texts will be mostly used in the course, examples of the law as/in literature from ancient times to the present and from other Western and non-Western cultures will also be selected.
