Legal scholars have recognized that there are few ways to express within the language of law and legal reasoning the complex relationship between power, gender, and knowledge.

This exciting CLE brings a unique perspective to these shortcomings through staged readings by Guthrie Theater actors of selections from Rebecca Gilman’s Dollhouse, based on Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. These fictional selections will be read alongside actual transcripts, commentaries and court decisions.

In Henrik Ibsen’s famous play  A Doll’s House, the heroine, Nora, is told by her husband, “no man would sacrifice his honor for the one he loves.” Her reply that “it is a thing hundreds of thousands of women have done,” still resonates more than a century later.

This course has been previously accredited in multiple jurisdictions.  We are adding more jurisdictions every day. If you are interested in us accrediting in your state let us know and we will get on it.

The moderated webcast of this course has been accredited multiple times–jurisdictions such as Minnesota require resubmission of paperwork for all moderated webcasts each time they are held, so these credits are considered “applied for credits”.

I really enjoyed this different format and way of educating folks about bias; I too believe art can be more effective in ‘changing our hearts’ regarding our biases than can any court case.
