Great Books Seminar
In the belief that reading and close textual analysis are skills of great importance to lawyers, the School of Law offers an optional non-credit seminar in "Great Books" for first-year students. This program has been in existence for fifteen years.
Participants in the seminar read a selected work of literature, and small groups meet three times during the course of the first semester to discuss the work. Discussion leaders include members of the law faculty and selected alumni. Some discussion groups choose to continue meeting throughout the academic year to discuss other works of literature.
Related to the Great Books Seminar is the school's annual Law and Literature Lecture.
