SOCI 365 - Law, Literature, and Society

3 SS
Second Semester. The law has fascinated folks for centuries. It has been the subject matter for writers, film makers, and social scientists. Those whose interests have been expressed in novels are much more fun to read than those who write in the sociological literature. So, this course will examine the law and its sociological impact through contemporary and historical fiction. Has literature shaped the law or does the law shape literature? What sociological verities can be established examining the question?
