Session 4: Ian McEwan | The Children Act
Virtual/Zoom
Berkeley Judicial Institute’s virtual law and literature series is smart, engaging, and fun; consider joining us as we introduce our virtual 2024-25 law and literature series. Join for one session or for all six!
Using great works as text, these programs provide participants the opportunity to reflect on how literature provides insight into contemporary issues. All are welcome to register to participate; we ask those participating to be cameras-on to discuss the readings during our time together.
No promises; we anticipate a lively, honest, and respectful exchange of views!
Professor Julie Empric of Eckerd College, whose facilitation of similar programs has been met with rave reviews, leads the sessions.
Think of a vibrant book club discussion, and you will have a sense of what we are trying to achieve.
Registration for each session is limited, and you must register separately for each session of interest. (Should your plans change, please cancel your registration to provide an opportunity for someone else.)
We hope you will join us.
