WMSTU 345 - Jurisprudence and Gender

Institution:

Saint Xavier University

Subject:

Description:

Cross Ref: SOC 345, CJ 345 The Rule of Law is meant to establish a system of rules founded on principles rather than personalities. In this course, we examine a system that is gendered, built on the story of men's lives. Our analysis takes us through at least three major strains of legal argument that begin with different assumptions and lead to different policy outcomes, all powerful, all persuasive, but none readily reconcilable. As a result, we are confronted with questions of gender equity and social justice. Can we produce fairness Can we preclude harming citizens with the instrument of law
