Hello. I intend on applying to Grad school to work on Law and Literature and how literary texts create their own structures of authority. I'm looking for professors who have similar interests. Could you guys suggest a few profs? I've made a tiny list of my own, but I'm afraid I might have missed someone whose interests coincide with mine. I'd be really grateful for your help. Thanks.

The University of Chicago has a number of people working in this area such as Deborah Nelson, Sonali thakker, and Nicole Wright. Also check out NYU if you haven't already.

You might look at USC. I know some past English PhD students there have focused on law and literature. Also, they have a Center for Law, History and Culture, so you may have some interdisciplinary options there as well.

Elliot Visconsi at the University of Notre Dame might be worth looking into. I don't know your specific period, or if you have one, but he does work on Law and Literature in late 17th-century England

You might also consider my institution, Case Western Reserve University. I have not worked with her myself (very different interests) but Martha Woodmansee is well known in literature / law circles. She may be the most nationally known member of Case's faculty, and she holds a joint appointment in the English department and the Law school.

Stephen M. Best at Berkeley and Eric Slauter at Chicago come immediately to mind.
