This week, the international entertainment arts expo known as Comic-Con descends on San Diego, bringing much-needed tourism revenue, a little fun, and a critical eye to an underappreciated form of literature, the comic book. No longer relegated to childhood, comics and graphic novels inform, entertain and inspire. They can also serve as an educational tool.

In this episode of Law in 10, host Pam Hardy speaks with Professor Jamie Cooper, Assistant Dean for Mission Development at California Western and a panelist, along with Associate Dean William Aceves, at this weekend’s Comic Arts Conference session featuring comics scholars.
