The&nbsp;goal of the editors&nbsp;was &quot;to find out how others who teach courses in political science, criminal justice, or law use novels in their teaching.&quot; The standard law-and-literature canon is well represented -- Dickens&#39; <em>Bleak House</em>, Harper Lee&#39;s <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em>, Kafka&#39;s <em>The Trial</em> -- but there were a few surprises as well, including two science fiction titles (Isaac Asimov&#39;s <em>I, Robot</em> and Aldous Huxley&#39;s <em>Brave New World</em>) and <em>Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix</em>.Highly recommended for librarians and collectors interested in the law-and-literature or law-and-popular-culture fields.</p> <p>MIKE WIDENER<br />Rare Book Librarian</p><img src="http://blogs.law.yale.edu/aggbug.aspx?PostID=148" width="1" height="1">Law and literatureWeb sightings
