: Traditional NotionsWhat Are They Teaching at NYU Law These Days?
From the NYT coverage of Heath Ledger's death:
Others in the crowd said their first reaction was disbelief. Nicole Vaughan, 24, a law student at New York University, was in a seminar about Jesus when someone sent her a message about Mr. Ledger.
Crikey. That makes me feel so much better about my own school's class Interpersonal Dynamics for Lawyers.
UPDATE: Dave Hoffman at Concurring Opinions picked up on the same quote, and tracked down the class at NYU, The Passion of the Christ: The Trial of Jesus. From the course description:
The Seminar will examine the historical context, the factual matrix and the legal issues concerning the trial(s) of Jesus by the Jewish and Roman authorities. Readings will include some of the principal primary sources and a selection from the vast seondary literature. For serious learners. Tons to read and plenty of hard work. Do not enroll just for curiosity.
That's right. "For serious learners. Tons to read and plenty of hard work. Do not enroll just for curiosity."
