Subject:

Description:

Description: This course will provide students with an introductory overview of Canon Law, a body of law which drew from ancient Roman law and influenced the development of European Civil Law. Canon law governs not only the internal relations of the clerical hierarchy but many aspects of the religious and family lives of Roman Catholic laity--issues such as annulment and divorce. The course will offer students of any background an illuminating perspective on an influential legal system different from the U.S. common law system, and will provide students with an introduction to aspects of canon law that will be of practical use, such as provisions relating to Church/state relations and annulment. 2.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School
