Shakespeare is “just” because his plays speak for both sides. What does this mean for a modern world that never listens to the other side?
Shakespeare’s grammar school in Stratford-upon-Avon gave the future poet a remarkable education in the rhetorical arts of performance and reasoned debate. It was in effect an excellent school of law. Are modern law schools still a place to speak and to hear both sides of every point of view? Professor Gary Watt takes us back to Shakespeare’s schoolroom and invites Shakespeare into the modern school of law.
