Hamilton College

Subject:

Description:

The chief goal of the course is to encourage a reading of law that explores the literary meanings and lessons of legal or law-like texts from a raced and gendered perspective. The class begins by addressing law as literature and includes readings of statutory provisions and cases. The course then considers law in literature, and offers insights or criticisms about written fictional depictions of the practice of law and law's effects upon various individuals or social groups, especially women of color. A third portion of the class is devoted to selected themes concerning law in film. Lolita Buckner Inniss.
