Abstract
Until a few years ago, scholars had done little research on legal themes in fiction, especially adolescent fiction. Lately, however, interest in the relationship between law and literature has increased. Law professors are starting to use works of literature in their teaching. English professors are sponsoring courses on legal themes in literature and the rhetoric of law. But in all the excitement of these new trends, little has been said about the relationship between law and adolescent literature.
