The University of Kansas Law And Literature Working Paper Series is designed for papers in all stages of the writing process. Works may range from initial drafts to fully-formed article length submissions. Our goal is to foster a learning community where individuals may share their knowledge, insights, and curiosity on the topic of Law And Literature.
Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author.
