UNIVERSITY OF IOWA COLLEGE OF LAW — A new course at Iowa Law examines the law through the lens of great works of literature. English Law and Literature explores the relationships between English law and English literature at the historical, practical, imaginative, and theoretical levels, encouraging students to consider the depiction of law and jurisprudential questions in works of literature. The new course offering was created during the pandemic by Stella Burch Elias, professor and Chancellor William Gardiner Hammond Fellow in Law. With COVID having curtailed the usual London Law Program meeting in London and Oxford, Elias wanted to develop materials that would enable students to “visit” the locations, that they would have otherwise seen in person, through plays, novels, poems, and writings. “Developing this new interdisciplinary course, against the backdrop of the pandemic, and working closely with the students using the Oxford tutorial model to develop their papers, was a particularly special experience,” expressed Elias.
