DESCRIPTION:The Great Trials lecture series considers a collection of histo
 ry-making trials across time and examines the social and political context
 s in which they took place as well as their cultural consequences. The ser
 ies takes the position that ‘law’ happens as much outside the courtroom as
  it does within it\, and that each of these pivotal events stands as testa
 ment to the ways in which constructions of authority\, law\, and justice h
 ave informed cultural consciousness across centuries.\nIPLAI is pleased to
  offer the lectures in this series for CLE credit through the Barreau du Q
 uébec.\nAfter Nelson Mandela and other Rivonia trialists were convicted an
 d sentenced to life imprisonment in 1964\, the apartheid government was ho
 ping to silence them and erase their memory from the minds of their fellow
  citizens. Under South Africa’s laws at the time\, all imprisoned or banne
 d people could not be quoted or have their pictures circulated. However\, 
 the effect was the opposite of what the government intended. In the follow
 ing decades\, while Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island\, pictures of 
 him at the time of the trial and his statement from the dock became global
 ly recognized icons of the struggle against injustice in South Africa. In 
 this lecture we will look at the Treason Trial (1956-1960)\, the Rivonia T
 rial (1963-1964) and their aftermath to meditate on which aspects were pub
 licly remembered and which forgotten\, and how they contributed to Nelson 
 Mandela’s global image as the symbol of the anti-apartheid struggle.\nFor
