Legal Studies 3 Credits The law and fiction both employ the creation of comprehensive, compelling narrative to support persuasive argument and appeal to the intellect and emotion.

Using a variety of sources, including novels, short stories, legal opinions and commentary, film, poetry and criticism, students will examine these themes through class discussion and short written assignments. Students will be expected to participate in class discussion and the course may require attendance at one or more evening film or theatrical event.
