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.
