Course Description

This year-long seminar enrolling both law and medical students explores ethical choices and challenges in professional practice, especially lawyers' and doctors' responsibilities in the aftermath of crisis or momentous change. In our sessions, the law/medicine mix makes for vibrant, illuminating exchange across professional boundaries about common readings/viewings as well as reflective conversation about professional identity. Assigned works include Sophocles's Antigone, Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and novels by Kafka and Woolf. Co-led by faculty from Law and Medicine, this seminar is graded on a credit/no credit basis, with participants receiving one credit at the end of spring term.
