which human beings have reflected on their relationship to God; the world and their fellow human beings. In the first semester ('The Search for God'), we
will focus on how human beings have sought to know and understand God and the world and on how that search has shaped the way humans define themselves. In
the second semester ('The Search for Community'), we will focus on how human beings have sought to define themselves in terms of the various communities to
which they belong, including families and clans, ethnic communities, nations and faith communities. The interaction and interconnections of faith, doubt
and reason will receive attention in both semesters.

"Literature and the Law," a course that was once a staple of the law school curriculum, has gained in popularity in recent years. We will be studying
issues which arise when law and literature intersect in the larger world: law as depicted in literary works of both historical and literary import; law as
depicted in popular culture, including film and fiction; the depiction of extra-legal recourse in the literary genre of revenge tragedy; the depiction of
gender issues; the literary value of selected landmark legal opinions; and the regulation of literature by the law in cases of obscenity, defamation and
copyright. Texts will include fiction by writers such as Melville, Kafka, Glaspell, Shakespeare, Faulkner and others; the film and the book "Twelve Angry
Men;" landmark arguments by judges such as Thurgood Marshall and Oliver Wendell Holmes and famous obscenity cases involving James Joyce's "Ulysses," and
Allen Ginsberg's "Howl."
