Law and Literature Lecture
The Law and Literature Lecture is a tradition that was developed in conjunction with Loyola's "Great Books" Seminar. The "Great Books" Seminar was established to provide an opportunity for law students to discuss law-related literature with the faculty and staff. Opportunities for first-year and upper-level students to become involved in the program range from reading classic to modern works of literature.
This unique lecture series has attracted a distinguished and varied group of speakers. Every year, a literary scholar lectures on a book or article in the field of law and literature. The main lecture usually is followed by a response panel composed of faculty members from the law school and other university departments. The interdisciplinary series offers students, alumni, faculty, and staff a unique perspective on the issues and personalities of the law.
Each year, the Law and Literature Lecture has attracted nationally recognized scholars. Through their lectures, the following scholars have provided a diverse examination of law in literature.
