This paper is about connecting literature to legal concepts and real-life applications presented in real legal cases to teach law students these concepts in a more sustainable way. The humanistic and case-based learning approaches are chosen for their real-life dimension that is a direct reflection of the principles of Sustainable Development (SD). One of the main reasons for the significance of the current study, besides the SD dimension, is its approach in changing the confinement of literature to the use of literary texts in second language acquisition only. The paper presents a course that connects legal concepts to literature and real legal cases to enhance and augment the skills and knowledge required specifically for law graduates. It also presents various unorthodox teaching methods that could be incorporated in teaching this course. In its broadest sense, this paper attempts to encourage the use of Literature to deliver, clarify, and enhance learning technical concepts, terminology, and principles of the different educational disciplines- other than law- through adapting literary texts to the required competencies and knowledge for learners of those disciplines. By doing so, this course would implement the SDGs by, among other factors, enabling learners of one discipline to have a broader and more informed knowledge of other disciplines. Since a classroom is not an end but a path to acquiring life skills, interdisciplinary and horizontal learning and knowledge is a necessary route to producing more competent and sustainable graduates and citizens.
