Robert Cover’S Love Of Stories: A Rumination On His Wanting To Discuss The Brothers Karamazov With Me Across Five Conversations During The Last Five Years Of His Life, With An Application To The Chauvin Murder Trial Of 2021, Richard H. Weisberg
Touro Law Review
The field of Law and Literature, perhaps more than any other area of legal studies, has been touched deeply by Robert Cover’s life and work.
