American law isn't just a system of rules here, it's a cultural text, and this course reads it alongside the novels, plays, and films that have absorbed, contested, and rewritten it from Blackstone through the torture debate. You'll pair landmark cases (Plessy, Brown, Roe, Lawrence) with literary and cinematic responses, working through them in discussion, a midterm and final, and a term essay that asks you to argue rather than summarize. It's an upper-year AMER elective, so you're expected to already read closely; what's new is treating court opinions as a genre and tracking how legal theory and storytelling shape each other on issues like slavery, free speech, and the death penalty.
