Theory paper

English – II

Examined on Set texts — law and literature, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954). A literature paper read for the places where law operates on a character, a speaker or a society: trials and judgments, rights and punishment, evidence and justice. Answers are marked for close reading of the text you were set, so every chapter works from the passages themselves.

This page is the map of the paper: every syllabus unit, the leading cases with full summaries, and the exam questions the paper actually sets.
