DESCRIPTION:A Great Trials Lecture with Prof. Shauna Van Praagh (Law).  “Li
 zzie Borden took an axe\,  Gave her mother forty whacks\, When the job was
  nicely done\, She gave her father forty-one!”  In late 19th century Massa
 chusetts\, Lizzie Borden was tried and acquitted for the murder of her par
 ents. Over a century later\, we are invited to reflect on\, and through\, 
 her story as we consider the shaping force of social norms and expectation
 s. Real and fictional narratives - including the play “Blood Relations” by
  Canadian playwright Sharon Pollock - intertwine in this discussion of the
  constraints and potential of law revealed by the experiences and perspect
 ives of women. Lizzie Borden\, actor and victim all in one\, shows us that
  we are both subject to\, and creators of\, law in our lives.  This lectur
 e has been accredited by the Barreau du Québec for 1 hour of Continuing Le
 gal Education: no. 10060928.  Great Trials III Lecture Series: Private Liv
 es\, Public Law  Organized by the Institute for the Public Life of Arts an
 d Ideas (IPLAI)\, the Great Trials lecture series considers a  collection 
 of  history-making trials across time and  examines the  social and politi
 cal  contexts in which they took place as  well as  their cultural  conseq
 uences. The series takes the position that  ‘law’  happens as much  outsid
 e the courtroom as it does within it\, and  that  each of these  pivotal e
 vents stands as testament to the ways in  which  constructions of  authori
 ty\, law\, and justice have informed  cultural  consciousness across  cent
 uries.  Fees: $60 for the series of five lectures\, or $15 for individual 
 lectures.  Registration: www.mcgill.ca/iplai/events/great-trials-lecture-s
