The law classifies and defines people. It does so
often in ways that may be seen as discriminatory or arbitrary. This Law
and
Literature elimination of bias trilogy examines how the law defines others,
such as people of color, immigrants, and those accused of crimes,
by using three plays that explore identity and human interaction. The goal will
be to explore how the law and the legal process often
reflects societal biases and stereotypes about specific groups of people, or how it makes
distinctions based upon assumptions about individuals. Each one-hour CLE discusses one play
or short story which should be read
in advance of the
program.
If you haven’t joined us for a Law &
Lit discussion before, register today to see why lawyers rave about these unique
seminars.
During this session, we will discuss Flannery O’Connor's "The Displaced
Person".
Reading materials will be provided to attendees in advance of the
program. Attendees are expected to read the text in advance of the program
and come prepared to discuss the material in the context of "the other" within
the law.
