John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY) is holding a one day conference entitled "Literature and Law" on Friday, April 11, 2008 on its campus at 899 Tenth Avenue (between 58th and 59th Streets). The conference will celebrate the imminent restoration of John Jay's English major, which will have a unique literature and law emphasis.
The Conference's keynote speaker will be Brook Thomas, a noted literature and law scholar and Chancellor's Professor at the University of California Irvine. His most recent book, just published by UNC Press, is Civic Myths: A Law-and-Literature Approach to Citizenship.
Also addressing the Conference will be Richard Weisberg, a professor at Cardozo Law School, and one of the founders of the law and literature movement.
The Conference will include eight paper panels and two round table discussions, and will end with a reception sponsored by the Law and Literature Journal. A conference schedule and registration information can be accessed here.
An application is pending with the New York State Continuing Legal Education Board to obtain CLE Credit for this conference in the area of Ethics and Professionalism.
