The Global Legal Post reports….
Fans of “Seinfeld” may have learned a thing or two about the legal system and didn’t even know it. Indeed, a professor at the University of Connecticut School of Law is even using past episodes to explore those legal connections.
So maybe it’s not actually a show about nothing …
Students can choose from 10 virtual weekly lessons this summer on Zoom in the free course “Seinfeld And The Law.”
To show it firmly has tongue in cheek, it notes that the lessons come from the “new and definitely unaccredited Yada Yada Law School.”
Professors and legal scholars will address topics on which they are experts, with each lecture tied to an episode of “Seinfeld.”
The school said it evolved this way: “The course and school were created by Gregory Shill, a professor at the University of Iowa College of Law who is also known as the Art Vandelay Dean & Kenny Rogers Roasters Foundation Chair in Business Law at Yada Yada Law School. He hopes to bring educational content and laughs to those who are self-isolating or quarantining during the coronavirus pandemic.”
“I wanted the lectures to be available and digestible to anybody, but to really model the first-year law student’s curriculum,” Shill said.
Classes are free, but Shill is asking people to donate to Legal Services of New York City and its COVID-19 relief efforts.
