Teaching Percy . . . to law students

As a law student, hearing this makes me want to transfer to SUNY for the 
remainder of my third year.  Percy in law school?  Creative curriculum at its 
very best!

Law school is so relentlessly uncreative and pedantic at times and courses 
that expand the bounds of traditional law curriculum are precious few.  Where 
I attend school, the course "Law and Literature" fills up with the first 15 
students who can access the registration line (and it's not because the class 
is a "slide"--it's taught by a very intelligent constitutional/ethics scholar 
who requires each student to write several lengthy papers and direct a 
meeting of the seminar).  It's impressive that an administration would allow 
such a foray as yours, however tenuously linked it is to the study of law.

Lancelot is a must, especially in a law school setting (most relevant novel 
topically).  

I hope your students enjoy this breath of fresh air.
