Magic and Law: Library Features Harry Potter

The Jacob Burns Law Library is showcasing an exhibit that uses the Harry Potter series to teach about civil suit issues and copyright law. Compiled by reference librarians Karen Wahl and Mary Kate Hunter, the exhibit highlights several law review articles that discuss mediation, tort theory, and fan fiction in relation to J.K. Rowling’s fictional universe. The display also features two books from the law library’s collection: The Law and Harry Potter and Law and Magic: A Collection of Essays. This exhibit runs through December, 2013.
