DESCRIPTION:Professor Lynn Kozak\, Department of History and Classical Stud
 iesThe Trial of Orestes: Aeschylus' Eumenides and the evoution from blood 
 vengeance to civic justice  Aeschylus’ Oresteia is our only extant Greek t
 ragic trilogy\, and with a production date of 458 BC\, includes one of our
  eariest examples of courtroom drama. Over the course of the trilogy\, the
  House of Atreus moves through a cycle of blood vengeance and murder that 
 only comes to an end in the final play\, the Eumenides\, where a murder tr
 ial is finally convened. This evolution\, from a system of vengeance to ci
 vic justice\, reflects a real change in Ancient Greek law as the polis eme
 rged as the principle organising institution of Greek culture. At the same
  time\, the play's depiction of the Areopagos (the Athenian homicide court
 ) in some part responds to the first half of the fifth century’s series of
  radical democratic reforms and the refinement of the role of the court. T
 his lecture tracks the shift from blood-feud to legal justice through Gree
 k literature and law--culminating in a discussion of the Oresteia--and ask
 s what these two opposing systems can teach us about our own notions of ju
 stice in North America today.  About The Great Trials  IPLAI's Great Trial
 s lecture series considers a collection of history-making trials across ti
 me and examines the social and political contexts in which they took place
  as well as their cultural consequences. The series takes the position tha
 t ‘law’ happens as much outside the courtroom as it does within it\, and t
 hat each of these pivotal events stands as testament to the ways in which 
 constructions of authority\, law\, and justice have informed cultural cons
 ciousness across centuries.  IPLAI is pleased to offer the lectures in thi
 s series for CLE credit through the Barreau du Québec.  Where: Westmount L
 ibrary\, 4574 Sherbrooke St. W.When: All lectures will begin at 5:30pm  Re
