Richard Weisberg is an eminent scholar in the cross-disciplinary study of law and literature. He has developed some of the founding theories and concepts in the field and in his frequently cited books has shed new light on literary classics, including Shakespeare. Among his books are The Failure of the Word: the Protagonist as Lawyer in Modern Fiction (1984),  Poethics and other strategies of Law and Literature(1992), Vichy Law and the Holocaust in France (1996) and In Praise of Intransigence: The Perils of Flexibility (2014).  Richard Weisberg is a guest of the Faculty of Law and it is a great pleasure for our two faculties at the University of Copenhagen to be jointly hosting Professor Weisberg at this symposium.
